1 Kings 6:3-6 ▼

3 The portico in front of the temple sanctuary was thirty feet long extending across the temple’s width, and fifteen feet deep in front of the temple.

4 He also made windows with beveled frames for the temple.

5 He then built a chambered structure along the temple wall, encircling the walls of the temple, that is, the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around.

6 The lowest chamber was 7 1 /2 feet wide, the middle was 9 feet wide, and the third was 10 1 /2 feet wide. He also provided offset ledges for the temple all around the outside so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
