2 Chronicles 2:3-7
31Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 word to 2HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865, sayingH559, “3As you dealtH6213 with my fatherH1 DavidH1732 and sentH7971 him cedarsH730 to buildH1129 him a houseH1004 to liveH3427 in, do it for me.
4BeholdH2009, I am about to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 my GodH430, dedicatingH6942 it to Him, 4to burnH6999 fragrantH5561 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 Him and to set out 5the showbreadH4635 continuallyH8548, and to offer 6burntH5930 offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, 7on SabbathsH7676, on newH2320 moonsH2320, and on the appointedH4150 feastsH4150 of the LordH3068 our GodH430. ThisH2088 is to be done in IsraelH3478 foreverH5769.
5The houseH1004 whichH834 I am about to buildH1129 will be greatH1419, for our GodH430 is 8greaterH1419 thanH4480 allH3605 the godsH430.
6But 9whoH4310 isH6113 ableH6113H3581 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Him, sinceH3588 the heavensH8064 and the highestH8064 heavensH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 Him? And whoH4310 am I, that I should buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Him, exceptH3588H518 to 10burnH6999 incense beforeH6440 Him?
7NowH6258 11sendH7971 me a skilledH2450 manH376 to workH6213 in goldH2091, silverH3701, brassH5178, ironH1270, and in purpleH710, crimsonH3758, and violetH8504 fabrics, one who knowsH3045 how to makeH6605 engravingsH6603, to work with the skilledH2450 workersH2450 1213whomH834 I haveH5973 in JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, whomH834 my fatherH1 DavidH1732 providedH3559.
