four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites went forth
from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign
over Israel, in the month of Ziv (the second month), he began to
build the house of the LORD.* 2The house which King Solomon
built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide, and
thirty high. 3The porch in front of the nave of the house was
twenty cubits from side to side along the width of the house,
and ten cubits deep in front of the house. 4Windows with closed
lattices were made for the house, 5and adjoining the wall of the
house he built a substructure around its walls that enclosed the
nave and the inner sanctuary, and he made side chambers all
around. 6The lowest story was five cubits wide, the middle one
six cubits wide, the third seven cubits wide, because he put
recesses along the outside of the house to avoid fastening
anything into the walls
