3The porch in front of the temple of the house had a length of twenty cubits, which was along the width of the house. Ten cubits was its width in front of the house.
4He made windows of fixed lattice work for the house.
5Against the wall of the house, he built floors all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side rooms all around.
6The lowest floor was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
7The house, when it was under construction, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and no hammer or ax or any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was under construction.
8The door for the middle side rooms was in the right side of the house. They went up by winding stairs into the middle floor, and out of the middle into the third.
9So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
10He built the floors all along the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timbers of cedar.
11Yahweh’s word came to Solomon, saying,
12“Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
13I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”
14So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15He built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood. He covered the floor of the house with cypress boards.
16He built twenty cubits of the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built this within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17In front of the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
18There was cedar on the house within, carved with buds and open flowers. All was cedar. No stone was visible.
19He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant there.
20Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height. He overlaid it with pure gold. He covered the altar with cedar.
