1 KINGS 7:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
"And the great court had three rows of hewn stone round about, and a row of cedar beams; so had the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the vestibule of the house." — The *great court* (*ha-chatzer ha-gedolah*) shares the *same construction technique* (*ezrat ha-phenimith*, the inner court) as the *temple*: *three rows of hewn stone and one row of cedar beams*. The *architectural correspondence* between *temple* and *palace* suggests *parallel sanctity* and *interconnected significance*.
