3And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 to HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865, sayingH559, As thou didst dealH6213 with DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and didst sendH7971 him cedarsH730 to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 to dwellH3427 therein, even so deal with me.1 4Behold, I buildH1129 an houseH1004 to the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 my GodH430, to dedicateH6942 it to him, and to burnH6999 beforeH6440 him sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and for the continualH8548 shewbreadH4635, and for the burnt offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, on the sabbathsH7676, and on the new moonsH2320, and on the solemn feastsH4150 of YhwhH3068 our GodH430. This is an ordinance for everH5769 to IsraelH3478.2 5And the houseH1004 which I buildH1129 is greatH1419: for greatH1419 is our GodH430 above all godsH430. 6But who is ableH3581H6113 to buildH1129 him an houseH1004, seeing the heavenH8064 and heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 him? who am I then, that I should buildH1129 him an houseH1004, save onlyH518 to burn sacrificeH6999 beforeH6440 him?3 7SendH7971 me now therefore a manH376 cunningH2450 to workH6213 in goldH2091, and in silverH3701, and in brassH5178, and in ironH1270, and in purpleH710, and crimsonH3758, and blueH8504, and that can skillH3045 to graveH6603H6605 with the cunning menH2450 that are with me in JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389, whom DavidH1732 my fatherH1 did provideH3559.4 8SendH7971 me also cedarH730 treesH6086, fir treesH1265, and algum treesH418, out of LebanonH3844: for I knowH3045 that thy servantsH5650 can skillH3045 to cutH3772 timberH6086 in LebanonH3844; and, behold, my servantsH5650 shall be with thy servantsH5650,5 9Even to prepareH3559 me timberH6086 in abundanceH7230: for the houseH1004 which I am about to buildH1129 shall be wonderfulH6381 greatH1419.6 10And, behold, I will giveH5414 to thy servantsH5650, the hewersH2404 that cutH3772 timberH6086, twentyH6242 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of beatenH4347 wheatH2406, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of barleyH8184, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 bathsH1324 of wineH3196, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 bathsH1324 of oilH8081.
