1 Kings 6:3-6

3The porch in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits 1in length, 2corresponding to the width of the house, and its 3depth along the front of the house was ten cubits. 4Also for the house 4he made windows with artistic frames. 55Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the nave and the 6inner sanctuary; thus he made 7side chambers all around. 6The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he 8made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not 9be inserted in the walls of the house.
