The first time that there is a structure is in the tent of meeting before the tabernacle is built. And then the tabernacle is built, and many, many chapters of Scripture are devoted to discussing its proportions, the Most Holy Place, who can approach the holy God in the Most Holy Place, and when — namely, on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, once a...
Eventually you get to the remarkable chapters in 2 Samuel 6 and 7 which are hugely formative for the rest of biblical theology. David has been king at this juncture for seven years, but only over the southern two tribes.
