1 Kings 6:5-8

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 wideH7341,1 the middle floorH8484 sixH8337 cubitsH520,2 and the thirdH7992 floor sevenH7651 cubitsH520.3 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 bottomH84844 floorH6763 was onH413 the southH3233 sideH3802 of the templeH1004. A stairwayH3883 led upH5927 toH5921 the middle levelH8484, and fromH4480 there toH413 the third floorH7992.
