1 Kings 6:5 VOICE

[5] He built the structure surrounding the central sanctuary of the temple that supported the sanctuary's walls and served as storehouses. The lower level of the structure was 7 1/2 feet wide, the middle level was 9 feet wide, and the top level was 10 1/2 feet wide. He constructed coffers in the temple so that the ceiling beams would not intersect with the temple walls.
