He built an extension all around the temple; it was seven and a half feet high ¹  and it was attached to the temple by cedar beams.

The bottom floor of the extension was seven and a half feet ¹  wide, the middle floor nine feet ²  wide, and the third floor ten and a half ³  feet wide. He made ledges ⁴  on the temple’s outer walls so the beams would not have to be inserted into the walls. ⁵
