1 Kings 7:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ From the foundation to the roof, all these buildings, including the large courtyard, were built with high-grade stone blocks. The stone blocks were cut to size and trimmed with saws on their inner and outer faces. ¹⁰ The foundation was made with large, high-grade stones (some 12 feet long, others 15 feet long). ¹¹ Above ⌞the foundation⌟ were cedar beams and high-grade stone blocks, which had been cut to size.
