1 Kings 7:10
"And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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.
