Commentators explain that this verse describes a raised platform or foundation for the temple complex. This elevation, measuring 'a full reed of six great cubits' (about 10.5 feet), set the sacred space apart and gave it a commanding presence. The temple wasn't just on the ground, but was intentionally lifted up.
