1 Kings 6:2-10

2And the houseH1004 whichH834 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 builtH1129 for the LordH3068 was 1sixtyH8346 cubitsH520 in its lengthH753, and twentyH6242 cubits in its widthH7341, and its heightH6967 was thirtyH7970 cubitsH520. 3The porchH197 in frontH6440 of the mainH1964 roomH1964 of the houseH1004 was 2twentyH6242 cubitsH520 in 3lengthH753, 4correspondingH5921 H6440 to the widthH7341 of the houseH1004, and its widthH7341 alongH5921 the frontH6440 of the houseH1004 was tenH6235 cubitsH520. 4Also for the houseH1004 5he madeH6213 windowsH2474 with artistic framesH331 H8261. 5 6AgainstH5921 the wallH7023 of the houseH1004 he builtH1129 storiesH3330 encompassingH5439 the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004 aroundH5439 both the mainH1964 roomH1964 and the 7 8innerH1687 sanctuaryH1687; so he madeH6213 9sideH6763 chambersH6763 allH5439 aroundH5439. 6The lowestH8481 storyH3330 was 10fiveH2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341, the middleH8484 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 wideH7341, and the thirdH7992 was sevenH7651 cubitsH520 wideH7341; for on the outsideH2351 he 11madeH5414 offsetsH4052 in the wall of the houseH1004 allH5439 aroundH5439 so that the beams would not 12be insertedH270 into the wallsH7023 of the houseH1004.

7 13The houseH1004, while it was being builtH1129, was builtH1129 of stoneH68 finishedH8003 at the quarryH4551, and neitherH3808 hammerH4717, norH3808 axeH1631, norH3808 anyH3605 ironH1270 toolH3627 was heardH8085 in the houseH1004 while it was being builtH1129.

8The doorwayH6607 for the 14lowestH8481 sideH6763 chamberH6763 was on the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004; and they would goH5927 upH5927 by a windingH3883 staircaseH3883 to the middleH8484 story, and from the middleH8484 to the thirdH7992. 9So 15he builtH1129 the houseH1004 and finishedH3615 it; and he coveredH5603 the houseH1004 with beamsH1356 and 16planksH7713 of cedarH730. 10He also builtH1129 the storiesH3330 againstH5921 the wholeH3605 houseH1004, each 17fiveH2568 cubitsH520 highH6967; and they 18were attachedH270 to the houseH1004 with timbersH6086 of cedarH730.
