1 Kings 6:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And in the house he made windows, [a]broad without, and narrow within.
5 And by the wall of the house he made [b]galleries round about, even by the walls of the house round about the Temple and [c]the oracle, and made chambers round about.
6 And the nethermost gallery was five cubits broad, and the middlemost six cubits broad, and the third seven cubits broad: for he made [d]rests round about without the house, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
