Behold, (A)I am building a temple for the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to Him, (B)to burn before Him [a]sweet incense, for (C)the continual showbread, for (D)the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the (E)Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the [b]set feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

And the temple which I build will be great, for (F)our God is greater than all gods. (G)But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?
