The wall of the house at its base was 6 cubits thick, and the breadth (N. to S.) of the side-chambers on the basement was 4 cubits. If the rebatements in the wall of the house were the same here as in Solomon's temple, the second story would be a cubit broader than the ground floor, and the third a cubit broader than the second (1 Kings 6:6), i. e. 4, 5 and 6 cubits. In Solomon's temple the side-chambers were larger, measuring 5, 6 and 7 cubits.
