and they:
"The nethermostª chamberª ° [was] fiveª cubitsª broad,ª and the middleª [was] sixª cubitsª broad,ª and the thirdª [was] sevenª cubitsª broad:ª for¹ without¹ [in the wall] of² the houseª he madeª ° narrowed restsª round about,ª that [the beams] should not¹ be fastenedª ° in the wallsª of the house.ª" {1Kg 6:6} + "And [then] he builtª °¹ chambersª ° against¹ all¹ the house,ª fiveª cubitsª high:ª and they rested² ° on¹ ¹ the houseª [with] timberª of cedar.ª" {1Kg 6:10}

That is, the beams or supporters, of the chambers were not let into the main wall of the temple; but rested on projections of the outer wall, which became a cubit narrower at every story, leaving a ledge of one cubit, to support the beams.
