1 Kings 6:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible

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 The lowest level of rooms was 2.3 metres wide. The middle level was 2.7 metres wide and the top level was 3.2 metres wide. Each floor was built on wooden beams. The beams rested on stones in the temple walls, so that there were no holes that they cut into the walls.

Footnotes

  1. 6:4 The windows were narrow. They may have let smoke out rather than let light in.
  2. 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.
