1 Kings 6:1-3

1 1Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, that is, the second month, that he 2began to build the house of the Lord.

2And the house which King Solomon built for the Lord was 3sixty cubits in its length, and twenty cubits in its width, and its height was thirty cubits.

3The porch in front of the main room of the house was 4twenty cubits in 5length, 6corresponding to the width of the house, and its width along the front of the house was ten cubits.
