"The house which King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high." — The *dimensions*: *u-megdat ha-bayit 'asher bana Shlomoh le-YHVH shishim amah ke'arko u-esrim amah rochbo u-shloshim amah gabahohu* (the house was sixty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and thirty cubits in height). The *proportions* (3:1 length to width, 1.5:1 height to width) reflect *classical proportions*. The structure is *relatively modest* in size—roughly 27 meters long, 9 meters wide, 13.5 meters high—yet *immensely significant* as the *sanctuary of God's presence*.
