1 Kings 6:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 The temple had an entrance room in front of its big hall. The entrance room was as wide as the temple, 9 metres wide. It came 4.5 metres out from the front of the temple itself. 4 Solomon made narrow windows near the tops of the temple walls.[a] 5 Solomon built rooms around the outside of the temple walls. These rooms continued outside the big hall and the inside room. The side rooms were on three levels.[b]

- 6:4 The windows were narrow. They may have let smoke out rather than let light in.
- 6:5 There were only two rooms inside the temple. There was a big hall and a smaller room, called the ‘Most Holy Place’. Around the outside there were small rooms. They were on three levels. That means that they built the rooms above each other. There were stairs which went to the rooms that were above the ground level.
