And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or eight cubits:

And the foundation is of precious stone, great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits;

And the base was of great masses of highly priced stone, some ten cubits and some eight cubits square.

Now the foundations were of precious stones: great stones of eight or ten cubits.

See the 1-Kings 5:17 note.

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones,.... Of a great price, and very large:
stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits some of one measure, and some of another; not so many cubits square, but of solid measure; they were so many in length.

the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones--Enormous stones, corresponding exactly with the dimensions given, are found in Jerusalem at this day. Not only the walls from the foundation to the roof beams were built of large hewn stones, but the spacious court around the palace was also paved with great square stones.
