1. Kongebok 6,1

I det fire hundre og åttiende året etter at Israels barn dro ut av landet Egypt, i det fjerde året av Salomos regjeringstid over Israel, i måneden Ziv (som er den andre måneden), begynte han byggingen av Herrens hus.

2 Huset som kong Salomo bygde for Herren var seksti alen langt, tjue alen bredt, og tretti alen høyt.

3 Forhallen foran skipet i huset var tjue alen lang, i tråd med husets bredde, og ti alen dyp foran huset.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
