2 Chronicles 2:5-7

New English Translation

⁵ I will build a great temple, for our God is greater than all gods. ⁶ Of course, who can really build a temple for him, since the sky^[a] and the highest heavens cannot contain him? Who am I that I should build him a temple! It will really be only a place to offer sacrifices before him.^[b]

⁷ “Now send me a man who is skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron, as well as purple-, crimson-, and blue-colored fabrics, and who knows how to engrave. He will work with my skilled craftsmen here in Jerusalem and Judah, whom my father David provided.
