Temple Furnishings


Hello Everyone: 

 

Today’s lesson starts our journey with the temple furnishings. For the next few days, we are about to embark on more
DETAILS about the architect of what was inside the “house of God.”  I’ll keep them short so it want be so overwhelming.

 

Here is our text:

 

I Kings 7:13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram, 14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was a man of Tyre and a craftsman in bronze. Huram was highly skilled and experienced in all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him. 15 He cast two bronze pillars, each eighteen cubits high and twelve cubits around, by line. 16 He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; each capital was five cubits high. 17 A network of interwoven chains festooned the capitals on top of the pillars, seven for each capital. 18 He made pomegranates in two rows encircling each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars. He did the same for each capital. 19 The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits high. 20 On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates in rows all around. 21 He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz. 22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars was completed.

 

 

As you can see, Solomon hires a different person to do the work on the inside of the temple.  His name is Huram whose mother was from the tribe of Naphtali and his father was a man of Tyre. 

 

That is the only detail that I want to point out for memorization.

 

Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone.  For those of you that are in other countries that study with me daily, Monday is a holiday for us in America.  It is Memorial Day.  It is a day that we honor our fallen soldiers.  I will not be posting on Monday.  I have a yearly tradition where I go to this place in Atlanta called Stone Mountain and I climb the mountain and walk around it which is an 8 mile journey.   I do it every Memorial Day that I am in town.  

 

Everyone be safe and have a wonderful holiday weekend. 

 

See you in web land on Tuesday. 

 

Stay encouraged everyone and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
