1 Kings 6:2–10

²As to the house that king Solomon hath built for Jehovah, sixty cubits is its length, and twenty its breadth, and thirty cubits its height. ³As to the porch on the front of the temple of the house, twenty cubits is its length on the front of the breadth of the house; ten by the cubit is its breadth on the front of the house; ⁴and he maketh for the house windows of narrow lights. ⁵And he buildeth against the wall of the house a couch round about, even the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the oracle, and maketh sides round about. ⁶The lowest couch, five by the cubit is its breadth; and the middle, six by the cubit is its breadth; and the third, seven by the cubit is its breadth, for withdrawings he hath put to the house round about, without—not to lay hold on the walls of the house. ⁷And the house, in its being built, of perfect stone brought thither hath been built, and hammer, and the axe—any instrument of iron—was not heard in the house, in its being built. ⁸The opening of the middle side is at the right shoulder of the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and from the middle one unto the third. ⁹And he buildeth the house, and completeth it, and covereth the house with beams and rows of cedars. ¹⁰And he buildeth the couch against all the house, five cubits is its height, and it taketh hold of the house by cedar-wood.
