(B)Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the main room and the [a](C)inner sanctuary; so he made (D)side chambers all around. The lowest story was [b]five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he [c]made offsets in the wall of the house all around so that the beams would not [d]be inserted into the walls of the house.
