1 Kings 6:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ He made windows with recessed frames for the temple. ⁵ He built chambers all around the outside walls of the main part and the inner sanctuary of the temple in which there were side rooms. ⁶ The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle chamber was six cubits wide, and the third level was seven cubits wide. He made narrow ledges all around the temple so that nothing had to be fastened to the walls of the temple.
