⁸ “Then have them make a sanctuary^(A) for me, and I will dwell^(B) among them. ⁹ Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern^(C) I will show you.

⁵ Of all my sons—and the Lord has given me many^(A)—he has chosen my son Solomon^(B) to sit on the throne^(C) of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

6 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud;^{(A) 2} I have built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever.^(B)”

⁷ Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat^(A) of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.
