3 And Solomon sent unto Huram king of Tyre, saying,—As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in,
4 lo! I, am about to build a house for the Name of Yahweh my God, to hallow unto him—to burn before him sweet incense, and for a continual setting in array, and to offer ascending-sacrifices morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts of Yahweh our God,-age-abiding, is this [law] for Israel.
5 And, the house which I am about to build, [must be] great,—for great is our God, above all gods.
6 But who is able to build unto him a house? for, the heavens, even the heaven of heavens, cannot contain him,—who then am, I, that I should build unto him a house, though only to burn incense before him?
7 Now, therefore, send me a wise man, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and skilful to execute gravings,—with the wise men who are with me, in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David did provide.
