1 Kings 6:6

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.

The nethermost {H8481} chamber {H3326}{H3326} was five {H2568} cubits {H520} broad {H7341}, and the middle {H8484} was six {H8337} cubits {H520} broad {H7341}, and the third {H7992} was seven {H7651} cubits {H520} broad {H7341}: for without in the wall of {H2351} the house {H1004} he made {H5414} narrowed rests {H4052} round about {H5439}, that the beams should not be fastened {H270} in the walls {H7023} of the house {H1004}.

The lowest floor of the annex was eight-and-three-quarters feet wide, the middle floor ten-and-a-half feet wide and the third floor twelve-and-a-quarter feet wide; for he had made the outer part of the wall of the house step-shaped, so that the beams of the annex would not have to be attached to the house walls.

The bottom floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits, and the third floor seven cubits. He also placed offset ledges around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be inserted into its walls.

The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.
