| 8. Elsewhere it is written, _Chronicles II 6:8-9_ “Inasmuch as it has been in your heart to build a Temple for My Name, you have done well by having this in your heart. You, however, shall not build the Temple. Rather, your son, who will emerge from your loins – he will build the Temple for My Name.” What then did King David do? He prepared silver, gold, copper, and iron...and all other things necessary to it, each according to precise measure and balance. All of it was according to the order of the compositions and for the needs of the Indwelling Presence of _HaShem_-יהו״ה, the _Shechinah_.” | ח. וּבְמָקוֹם אַחֵר כְּתִיב: [וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־דָּוִיד אָבִי יַעַן אֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִם־לְבָבְךָ לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לִשְׁמִי הֱטִיבוֹתָ כִּי הָיָה עִם־לְבָבֶךָ׃] רַק אַתָּה לֹא תִבְנֶה הַבָּיִת, כִּי בִנְךָ הַיּוֹצֵא מֵחֲלָצֶיךָ הוּא יִבְנֶה הַבַּיִת לִשְׁמִי וְגֵו' (דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים, ו, ט). מֶה עָשָׂה דָּוִד הַמֶּלֶךְ? הֵכִין כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב, וּנְחֹשֶׁת וּבַרְזֶל...וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַדְּבָרִים הַצְּרִיכִים לוֹ, בְּמִשְׁקָל בְּמִדָּה וּבַמְּשׂוּרָה, הַכֹּל כְּפִי סִדְרֵי הַמַּעֲרֶכֶת וְצֹרֶךְ הַשְּׁכִינָה,<br> | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
