New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1
Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, that is, the second month, that he began to build the house of the
Lord
.
2
And the house which King Solomon built for the
Lord
was
sixty cubits
in
its length, and twenty
cubits in
its width, and its height
was
thirty cubits.
3
The porch in front of the main room of the house
was
twenty cubits in length, corresponding to the width of the house,
and
its width along the front of the house
was
ten cubits.
4
Also for the house he made windows with
artistic
frames.
5
Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the main room and the inner sanctuary; so he made side chambers all around.
6
The lowest story
was
five cubits wide, the middle
was
six cubits wide, and the third
was
seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets
in the wall
of the house all around so that
the beams
would not be inserted into the walls of the house.
7
The house, while it was being built, was built of stone finished at the quarry, and neither hammer, nor axe, nor any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built.
King James Version
Chapter 6
1
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the
Lord
.
2
And the house which king Solomon built for the
Lord
, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
6
The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

Chapter 6
1
Solomon began to build the temple for the
Lord
in the four hundred eightieth year after the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of his reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month.
2
The temple that King Solomon built for the
Lord
was ninety feet long, thirty feet wide, and forty-five feet high.
3
The portico in front of the temple sanctuary was thirty feet long extending across the temple’s width, and fifteen feet deep in front of the temple.
4
He also made windows with beveled frames for the temple.
5
He then built a chambered structure along the temple wall, encircling the walls of the temple, that is, the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around.
6
The lowest chamber was 7½ feet wide, the middle was 9 feet wide, and the third was 10½ feet wide. He also provided offset ledges for the temple all around the outside so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.
7
The temple’s construction used finished stones cut at the quarry so that no hammer, chisel, or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
1
It was in midspring, in the month of Ziv, during the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, that he began to construct the Temple of the
Lord
. This was 480 years after the people of Israel were rescued from their slavery in the land of Egypt.
2
The Temple that King Solomon built for the
Lord
was 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
3
The entry room at the front of the Temple was 30 feet wide, running across the entire width of the Temple. It projected outward 15 feet from the front of the Temple.
4
Solomon also made narrow recessed windows throughout the Temple.
5
He built a complex of rooms against the outer walls of the Temple, all the way around the sides and rear of the building.
6
The complex was three stories high, the bottom floor being 7 1/2 feet wide, the second floor 9 feet wide, and the top floor 10 1/2 feet wide. The rooms were connected to the walls of the Temple by beams resting on ledges built out from the wall. So the beams were not inserted into the walls themselves.
7
The stones used in the construction of the Temple were finished at the quarry, so there was no sound of hammer, ax, or any other iron tool at the building site.

The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad. For around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
7
When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.

7
In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.

.
2
Now the house which King Solomon built for the
Lord
, its length
was
sixty cubits, its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
3
The vestibule in front of the sanctuary of the house
was
twenty cubits long across the width of the house,
and
the width of
the vestibule extended
ten cubits from the front of the house.
4
And he made for the house windows with beveled frames.
5
Against the wall of the temple he built chambers all around,
against
the walls of the temple, all around the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. Thus he made side chambers all around it.
6
The lowest chamber
was
five cubits wide, the middle
was
six cubits wide, and the third
was
seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that
the support beams
would not be fastened into the walls of the temple.

And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel
or
any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
