CLV(i)
1 And it comes to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year--in the month of Zif, it [is] the second month--of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he builds the house for Yahweh.
2 As to the house that king Solomon has built for Yahweh, sixty cubits [is] its length, and twenty its breadth, and thirty cubits its height.
3 As 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;"
4 and he makes for the house windows of narrow lights.
5 And he builds 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 makes sides round about.
6 The low 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 has put to the house round about, without--not to lay hold on the walls of the house.
7 And the house, in its being built, of perfect stone brought [thither] has been built, and hammer, and the axe--any instrument of iron--was not heard in the house, in its being built.
