Reference for Menachot 196:15
ור' אלעזר בר' שמעון מאי טעמא גמר מארון מה ארון צפון ודרום אף הני נמי צפון ודרום ורבי נמי ליגמר מארון דנין חוץ מחוץ ואין דנין חוץ מבפנים
from [another that stood] outside, but one may not infer [that which stood] outside from [that which stood] inside.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The ark was within the Holy of Holies but the candlestick and the tables were outside in the Sanctuary.');"><sup>19</sup></span> And why does not R'Eleazar son of R'Simeon derive it from the candlestick? - He maintains that even the candlestick stood [with its branches extending] towards north and south.
