, and a

to build an

LORD
, and an
house for his kingdom .

seventy
thousand men bearing
burden
, and eighty
thousand men
hewing
in the mountain, and overseers
over
them
--
three thousand and six hundred.

And Solomon sendeth
unto
Huram king of Tyre, saying, `When
thou hast
dealt
with David my father, then
thou
dost
send to
him cedars to build for
him a
house to dwell in;
And Solomon sent
to
Huram the
king of Tyre, saying, As
thou didst
deal
with David my father, and
didst
send him cedars to build him an

even
so
deal
with
me.
lo
, I am
building
a
house to the name of Jehovah
my God, to sanctify
`
it '
to Him, to make
perfume
before Him ,
perfume
of
spices
, and a
continual arrangement
, and burnt -
offerings at
morning and at
evening, at
sabbaths, and at
new moons, and at
appointed
seasons
of Jehovah
our God ;
to
the
age
this `
is '
on
Israel.
Behold
, I build
an
house to the name of the
LORD
my God, to dedicate
it to him, and
to burn
before him sweet
incense
, and for
the
continual shewbread
, and for
the
burnt offerings morning and evening, on
the
sabbaths, and on
the
new moons, and on
the
solemn
feasts
of the
LORD
our God .
This is an
ordinance
for
ever
to
Israel.
`
And the house that
I am
building
`
is '
great ,
for greater
`
is '
our God than
all gods ;
And the house which
I build
is great :
for great
is our God above
all gods .
and
who doth
retain
strength
to build to
Him a
house, for
the
heavens,
even
the heavens
of the
heavens ,
do
not
contain Him? and
who `
am '
I that I do
build to
Him a
house, except
to make
perfume
before Him?
But
who is
able
to build him an
house, seeing
the heaven
and
heaven
of heavens cannot
contain him? who am I then,
that I should
build him an
house, save
only
to burn
sacrifice
before him?
`And
now,
send to
me a wise
man to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing
to grave gravings
with the wise
men who
`
are '
with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father prepared;
Send me now
therefore
a man cunning
to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that
can
skill
to grave with the cunning
men that
are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did
provide.

send to
me cedar -
trees, firs
, and algums
from
Lebanon

trees
of
Lebanon ,
and lo

with thy servants,
Send me also
cedar trees, fir
trees
, and algum
trees
, out
of
Lebanon:
for I know
that thy servants can
skill
to cut timber
in
Lebanon ;
and, behold,
my servants shall
be
with thy servants,
even to prepare for
me trees
in abundance ,
for the house that
I am building
`is'
great
and
wonderful.
Even to prepare me timber
in abundance :
for the house which
I am about
to
build
shall
be
wonderful great

, to
hewers,
to
those
cutting
the
trees
, I have
given
beaten
wheat
to thy servants, cors
twenty thousand, and barley,
cors
twenty thousand, and wine,
baths
twenty thousand, and oil,
baths
twenty thousand. '

sendeth
unto

thee king over them. '

Huram the
king of Tyre answered
in writing, which

made the
heavens
and the
earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, knowing
wisdom
and understanding, who
doth
build a
house for Jehovah
, and a
house for his kingdom.
Huram said
moreover
, Blessed be
the
LORD
God of Israel, that
made heaven
and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued
with
prudence
and understanding, that
might
build an
house for the
LORD
, and an
house for his kingdom.

And now ,
I have sent a wise
man having
understanding, of Huram my father
,

to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stones
, and in wood
, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson ,
and
to grave any graving, and to devise
any
device that
is
given
to him, with thy wise
men, and the wise
men of my lord David thy father.

also
to grave any manner
of
graving, and to find
out
every
device which
shall
be
put
to him, with thy cunning
men, and with
the cunning
men of my lord David thy father.
`And,
now ,
the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as
my lord said
, let him send to
his servants ,
Now therefore
the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which
my lord hath
spoken
of
, let him send unto
his servants :
and we --
we
cut trees
out of Lebanon, according
to
all
thy
need ,
and bring them
in
to thee --
floats by sea ,
to Joppa ,
and thou dost
take
them
up to Jerusalem. '
And we will
cut wood
out of Lebanon, as
much
as
thou
shalt
need :
and we
will
bring it
to thee in
floats by sea to Joppa ;
and thou shalt
carry
it
up to Jerusalem.

all the men,

of them seventy
thousand
burden-

thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers ,
to cause
the people to
work.
