All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the outside toward the great court.
And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
And the great court round about [was] with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
