1 Kings 6:2-10

2The houseH1004 thatH834 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for the LORDH3068 was sixtyH8346 cubitsH520 longH753, twentyH6242 cubits wideH7341, and thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 highH6967.1 3The porticoH197 atH5921 the frontH6440 of the main hallH1964 of the templeH1004 was twentyH6242 cubitsH5202 longH753, extending acrossH5921H6440 the widthH7341 of the templeH1004 and projecting outH7341 tenH6235 cubitsH5203 inH5921 frontH6440 of the templeH1004.

4He also hadH6213 narrowH331 windowsH2474 framed highH8261 in the templeH1004.

5AgainstH5921 the wallsH7023 of the templeH1004 and the inner sanctuaryH1964H1687, Solomon builtH1129 a chambered structureH3326 aroundH5439 the templeH1004, in whichH5439 he constructedH6213 the side roomsH6763. 6The bottomH8481 floorH3326 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341,4 the middle floorH8484 sixH8337 cubitsH520,5 and the thirdH7992 floor sevenH7651 cubitsH520.6 He also placedH5414 offset ledgesH4052 aroundH5439 the outsideH2351 of the templeH1004, so that nothingH1115 would be insertedH270 intoH1004 its wallsH7023.

7The templeH1004 was constructedH1129 usingH1129 finishedH8003 stonesH68 cut at the quarryH4551, so that noH3808 hammerH4717 or chiselH1631 or anyH3605 other ironH1270 toolH3627 was heardH8085 in the templeH1004 while it was being builtH1129.

8The entranceH6607 to the bottomH84847 floorH6763 was onH413 the southH3233 sideH3802 of the templeH1004. A stairwayH3883 led upH5927 toH5921 the middle levelH8484, and fromH4480 there toH413 the third floorH7992.

9So Solomon builtH1129 the templeH1004 and finished itH3615, roofingH5603 itH1004 with beamsH1356 and planksH7713 of cedarH730. 10He builtH1129 chambersH3326 all alongH5921H3605 the templeH1004, each fiveH2568 cubitsH520 highH6967 and attachedH270 to the templeH1004 with beamsH6086 of cedarH730.
