2 Chroniques 2:2-5

2καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαλωμων πρὸς Χιραμ βασιλέα Τύρου λέγων Ὡς ἐποίησας μετὰ τοῦ πατρός μου Δαυιδ καὶ ἀπέστειλας αὐτῷ κέδρους τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι ἑαυτῷ οἶκον κατοικῆσαι ἐν αὐτῷ,

3καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ οἰκοδομῶ οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ μου ἁγιάσαι αὐτὸν αὐτῷ τοῦ θυμιᾶν ἀπέναντι αὐτοῦ θυμίαμα καὶ πρόθεσιν διὰ παντὸς καὶ τοῦ ἀναφέρειν ὁλοκαυτώματα διὰ παντὸς τὸ πρωὶ καὶ τὸ δείλης καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς τοῦ κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦτο ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ.

4καὶ ὁ οἶκος, ὃν ἐγὼ οἰκοδομῶ, μέγας, ὅτι μέγας ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν παρὰ πάντας τοὺς θεούς.

5καὶ τίς ἰσχύσει οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον ; ὅτι ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐ φέρουσιν αὐτοῦ τὴν δόξαν. καὶ τίς ἐγὼ οἰκοδομῶν αὐτῷ οἶκον ; ὅτι ἀλλ ἢ τοῦ θυμιᾶν κατέναντι αὐτοῦ.
