1st Melekiym (Kings) 5:12 – 6:13

1st Melekiym (Kings) 5:12–18

• 12. And Yahuah gave Shalomah wisdom, as He promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Shalomah; and they two made a league together.
• 13. And king Shalomah raised a levy out of all Yashar’el; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
• 14. And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
• 15. And Shalomah had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
• 16. Beside the chief of Shalomah’s officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
• 17. And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
• 18. And Shalomah’s builders and Hiram’s builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.

1st Melekiym (Kings) 6:1–13

1. And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Yashar’el were come out of the land of Mitsrayim, in the fourth year of Shalomah’s reign over Yashar’el, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yahuah.
2. And the house which king Shalomah built for Yahuah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
3. And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
4. And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5. And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
6. The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7. And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8. The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9. So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10. And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11. And the Word of Yahuah came to Shalomah, saying,
12. Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in My statutes, and execute My judgments, and keep all My commandments to walk in them; then will I perform My word with thee, which I spake unto Da’vid thy father:
13. And I will dwell among the children of Yashar’el, and will not forsake My people Yashar’el.

Yochanon (John) 2:15-21 ; Ivriym (Hebrews) 8:1-13 ; 1st Qorintiym (Corinthians) 3:9-23

Yochanon (John) 2:15-21

• 15. And when He had made a scourge of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
• 16. And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not My Father’s house an house of merchandise.
• 17. And His talmidiym remembered that it was written, The zeal of Thine house hath eaten Me up.
• 18. Then answered the Yahudiym and said unto Him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that Thou doest these things?
• 19. Yahusha answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
• 20. Then said the Yahudiym, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt Thou rear it up in three days?
• 21. But He spake of the temple of his body.

Ivriym (Hebrews) 8:1-13

1. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2. A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which Yahuah pitched, and not man.
3. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4. For if He were on earth, He should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the Torah:
5. Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Mosheh was admonished of Elohiym when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6. But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8. For finding fault with them, He saith, Behold, the days come, saith Yahuah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Yashar’el and with the house of Yahudah:
9. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrtayim; because they continued not in My covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahuah.
10. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Yashar’el after those days, saith Yahuah; I will put My Torah into their mind, and write it in their hearts: and I will be to them an Elohiym, and they shall be to me a people:
11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahuah: for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest.
12. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13. In that he saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

1st Qorintiym (Corinthians) 3:9-23

• 9. For we are labourers together with Elohiym: ye are Elohiym’s husbandry, ye are Elohiym’s building.
• 10. According to the grace of Elohiym which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
• 11. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.
• 12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
• 13. Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
• 14. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
• 15. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
• 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of Elohiym, and that the Ruach of Elohiym dwelleth in you?
• 17. If any man defile the temple of Elohiym, him shall Elohiym destroy; for the temple of Elohiym is set-apart, which temple ye are.
• 18. Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
• 19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with Elohiym. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
• 20. And again, Yahuah knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
• 21. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s;
• 22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kepha, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;
• 23. And ye are Mashiach’s; and Mashiach is Elohiym’s.
