1 But Sh'lomo was building his own Bais (palace complex) thirteen years, and he finished all his Bais.
2 He built also the Bais Ya'ar HaLevanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the width thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was roofed in erez (cedar) above the tzela'ot (chambers, side-rooms) upon the ammudim; there were forty-five, fifteen per row.
4 And there were shekufim (windows) in three rows, and outlook was opposite outlook, shalosh pe'amim (three times).
5 And all the petachim and mezuzot were framed foursided by beams; and outlook opposite outlook, shalosh pe'amim (three times).
6 And he made Ulam HaAmmudim (Hall of Pillars); the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the width thereof thirty cubits: and the ulam (portico) was in front of them [i.e., the petachim]; and the other ammudim [for the portico roof] with the thick beam were before them.
