1 Kings 7:5-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. and looking toward one another, with equal spacing between the columns. And above the columns there were square beams equal in all things.

6. And he made a portico of columns, fifty cubits in length and thirty cubits in width, and another portico, facing the greater portico, with columns and with crossbeams upon the columns.

7. He also made the portico of the throne, in which is the tribunal. And he overlaid it with cedar wood, from the floor even to the summit.

8. And in the midst of the portico, there was a small house, where he would sit in judgment, similar in workmanship. He also made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh (whom Solomon had taken as wife) of the same work and type as this portico.

9. All was of precious stones, which had been sawed by a particular standard and measure, as much within as without, from the foundation even to the summit of the walls, and outside even to the great atrium.

10. Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.
