6
The lower wing
was five cubits wide, and the middle
was six cubits wide, and the third
was seven cubits wide, for without
in the wall of the house, he had made narrowed rests round about, that
the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7
And the house, when it was built, was put together of perfect stones
made ready before they were brought there; so that there was no hammer nor axe
nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built.
8
The door for the middle wing
was in the right side of the house; and they went up with winding stairs into the middle
wing and out of the middle into the third.
9
So he built the house and finished it and covered the house with work of cedar placed in order.
10
And
then he built the wing against all the house, five cubits high; and they rested on the house
with timber of cedar.
11
And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
12
Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes and execute my rights and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will perform my word with thee, which I spoke unto David thy father;
13
and I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will not forsake my people Israel.
14
So Solomon built the house and finished it.
15
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling;
and he covered
them on the inside with wood and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16
And he built twenty cubits on the end of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar; and he built an oracle in the house, which is the holy of holies.
