1 Kings 6:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.

⁷ And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.

⁸ The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.
