1 Kings 6:2-10

2And the houseH1004 that kingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for Jehovah was sixtyH8346 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, and twentyH6242 in breadthH7341, and thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 in heightH6967.

3And the porchH197, in front of the temple of the houseH1004, was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in lengthH753, in front of the houseH1004 broadways, [and] tenH6235 cubitsH520 was its breadthH7341, in front of the houseH1004.

4And for the houseH1004 he madeH6213 closed windowsH2474 with fixed lattices.

5And against the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 floors roundH5439 about, [against] the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004, roundH5439 about the temple and the oracle; and he madeH6213 side-chambers roundH5439 about.

6The lowest floor was fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broad, and the middleH8484 one was sixH8337 cubitsH520 broad, and the thirdH7992 was sevenH7651 cubitsH520 broad; for in the [thickness of the wallH7023 of] the houseH1004 he madeH5414 resets roundH5439 about outside, that nothing should be fastened in the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004.

7And the houseH1004, when it was being builtH1129, was builtH1129 of stoneH68 entirely made ready before it was brought thither; so that there was neither hammerH4717 nor axeH1631 nor any tool of ironH1270 heardH8085 in the houseH1004 while it was being builtH1129.

8The entranceH6607 to the side-chambers of the middleH8484 [floor] was in the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004; and they wentH5927 up by winding stairs into the middleH8484 [floor], and out of the middleH8484 into the thirdH7992.

9And he builtH1129 the houseH1004, and finishedH3615 it; and coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beams and boards of cedar.

10And he builtH1129 the floors against all the houseH1004, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high; and they heldH270 to the houseH1004 by the timbers of cedarH730.
