2 Chronicles 2:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ The temple I am about to build must be magnificent, because our God is greater than all other gods. ⁶ But who is able to build such a temple when even the highest heaven can’t contain God? And who am I that I should build this temple for God, except as a place to burn incense in his presence? ⁷ So now send me a craftsman skilled in gold, silver, bronze, and iron, as well as in purple, crimson, and violet yarn—someone also experienced as an engraver. He will work with my craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem who were provided by my father David.
