Ecclésiaste 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (niv)

Ezéchiel 43:1-27
Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory.The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown.The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple.He said:“ Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile my holy name— neither they nor their kings— by their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings at their death.When they placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my anger.Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.“ Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins. Let them consider its perfection,and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make known to them the design of the temple— its arrangement, its exits and entrances— its whole design and all its regulations and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.“ This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most holy. Such is the law of the temple.“ These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits, that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around the edge. And this is the height of the altar:From the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge that goes around the altar it is two cubits high, and the ledge is a cubit wide. From this lower ledge to the upper ledge that goes around the altar it is four cubits high, and that ledge is also a cubit wide.Above that, the altar hearth is four cubits high, and four horns project upward from the hearth.The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide.The upper ledge also is square, fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit. The steps of the altar face east.”Then he said to me,“ Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and splashing blood against the altar when it is built:You are to give a young bull as a sin offering to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who come near to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord.You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge and all around the rim, and so purify the altar and make atonement for it.You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.“ On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull.When you have finished purifying it, you are to offer a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.You are to offer them before the Lord, and the priests are to sprinkle salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.“ For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect.For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it.At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.” (niv)

Nombres 4:1-49
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:“ Take a census of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families.Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.“ This is the work of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things.When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.Then they are to cover the curtain with a durable leather, spread a cloth of solid blue over that and put the poles in place.“ Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings; the bread that is continually there is to remain on it.They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.“ They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays, and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it.Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.“ Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth and cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.“ They are to take all the articles used for ministering in the sanctuary, wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with the durable leather and put them on a carrying frame.“ They are to remove the ashes from the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth over it.Then they are to place on it all the utensils used for ministering at the altar, including the firepans, meat forks, shovels and sprinkling bowls. Over it they are to spread a covering of the durable leather and put the poles in place.“ After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die. The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the tent of meeting.“ Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest, is to have charge of the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain offering and the anointing oil. He is to be in charge of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including its holy furnishings and articles.”The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ See that the Kohathite tribal clans are not destroyed from among the Levites.So that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry.But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.”The Lord said to Moses,“ Take a census also of the Gershonites by their families and clans.Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.“ This is the service of the Gershonite clans in their carrying and their other work:They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, that is, the tent of meeting, its covering and its outer covering of durable leather, the curtains for the entrance to the tent of meeting,the curtains of the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and altar, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard, the ropes and all the equipment used in the service of the tent. The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things.All their service, whether carrying or doing other work, is to be done under the direction of Aaron and his sons. You shall assign to them as their responsibility all they are to carry.This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.“ Count the Merarites by their clans and families.Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.As part of all their service at the tent, they are to carry the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts and bases,as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, ropes, all their equipment and everything related to their use. Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry.This is the service of the Merarite clans as they work at the tent of meeting under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.”Moses, Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the Kohathites by their clans and families.All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting,counted by clans, were 2,750.This was the total of all those in the Kohathite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.The Gershonites were counted by their clans and families.All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting,counted by their clans and families, were 2,630.This was the total of those in the Gershonite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command.The Merarites were counted by their clans and families.All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting,counted by their clans, were 3,200.This was the total of those in the Merarite clans. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.So Moses, Aaron and the leaders of Israel counted all the Levites by their clans and families.All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to do the work of serving and carrying the tent of meetingnumbered 8,580.At the Lord’s command through Moses, each was assigned his work and told what to carry. Thus they were counted, as the Lord commanded Moses. (niv)

The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the cover.They made the table of acacia wood— two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it.They also made around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were.The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table.The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold.And they made from pure gold the articles for the table— its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand— three on one side and three on the other.Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand.And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms.One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair— six branches in all.The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood.

1 Rois 6 1-1 Rois 6 8
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the Israelites came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the temple of the Lord.The temple that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.The portico at the front of the main hall of the temple extended the width of the temple, that is twenty cubits, and projected ten cubits from the front of the temple.He made narrow windows high up in the temple walls.Against the walls of the main hall and inner sanctuary he built a structure around the building, in which there were side rooms.The lowest floor was five cubits wide, the middle floor six cubits and the third floor seven. He made offset ledges around the outside of the temple so that nothing would be inserted into the temple walls.In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.The entrance to the lowest floor was on the south side of the temple; a stairway led up to the middle level and from there to the third.
