OET (OET-RV) The lowest level was just over two metres wide, the middle level was half a metre wider, and the top level the same again (because the temple wall got thinner as it went up). The temple walls had ledges built into them for the beams to sit on, so they wouldn’t have to go through the walls.

OET-LV The[fn] the_lower was_five by_cubit breadth _of_its and_the _middle_extension was_six by_cubit breadth _of_its and _(the)_third_extension was_seven by_cubit breadth _of_its if/because ledges he _made for_house around the _outside_to to_not to _have _hold in_the _walls _of the _house.

ULT The lowest addition, five by the cubit, was its width, and the middle, six by the cubit, was its width, and the third, seven by the cubit, was its width. For he made ledges for the house all around the outside, so as not to hold onto the walls of the house.

UST The workers built three rows of ledges along the side and back walls of the temple so that the addition could rest on them for support rather than on the temple itself. The bottom ledge was the thickest, so the bottom floor of the addition was two and one third meters wide. The middle ledge was less thick, so the middle floor of the addition was two and three quarters meters wide. The top ledge was even less thick, so the top floor of the addition was three and a quarter meters wide.

BSB & MSB The 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.
