8 I saw that the temple had a raised base all around it, forming the foundation of the side rooms. It was the length of the rod, six long cubits.
8 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
8 I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of six long cubits.
8 I observed that the Temple had a ten-and-a-half-foot-thick raised base around it, which provided a foundation for the side rooms.
8 I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, a full rod, that is, six cubits high.
8 I saw that the Temple was built on a terrace, which provided a foundation for the side rooms. This terrace was 10 feet high.
