For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
Solomon built a copper platform that was five by five meters in size and three meters tall. He placed it in the center of the courtyard. Then, he stood on it and knelt down, praying to God while facing upwards, in front of all the people of Israel.
