and of various colors, and all manner of precious stones,
and marble stones in abundance.
029:003 In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God,
seeing that I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver,
I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I
have prepared for the holy house,
029:004 even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to
overlay the walls of the houses;
029:005 of gold for the [things of] gold, and of silver for the [things
of] silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands
of artificers. Who then offers willingly to consecrate
himself this day to Yahweh?
029:006 Then the princes of the fathers' [houses], and the princes of the
tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds,
with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly;
029:007 and they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five
thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten
thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents,
and of iron a hundred thousand talents.
029:008 They with whom [precious] stones were found gave them

and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you
are exalted as head above all.
029:012 Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all;
and in your hand is power and might; and it is in your hand
to make great, and to give strength to all.
029:013 Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.
029:014 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able
to offer so willingly as this? For all things come of you,
and of your own have we given you.
029:015 For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all
our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow,
and there is no abiding.
029:016 Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to
build you a house for your holy name comes of your hand,
and is all your own.
029:017 I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have
