The Chambers

The Chambers


5Against the walls of the temple and the inner sanctuary, Solomon built a chambered structure around the temple, in which he constructed the side rooms. 6The bottom floor was five cubits wide,[fn] the middle floor six cubits,[fn] and the third floor seven cubits.[fn] He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.


7The temple was constructed using finished stones cut at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any other iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.


8The entrance to the bottom [fn] floor was on the south side of the temple. A stairway led up to the middle level, and from there to the third floor.


9So Solomon built the temple and finished it, roofing it with beams and planks of cedar. 10He built chambers all along the temple, each five cubits high and attached to the temple with beams of cedar.


6:6 5 cubits is approximately 7.5 feet or 2.3 meters; also in verses 10 and 24.

6:6 6 cubits is approximately 9 feet or 2.7 meters.

6:6 7 cubits is approximately 10.5 feet or 3.2 meters.
