No one can really build a Temple for God. This is because even all the vastness of heaven cannot contain him. How then can I build a Temple that would be anything more than a place to burn incense to God?

Can you, O God, really live on earth? Not even heaven or the heaven of heavens is large enough to hold you. How can this Temple I have built be large enough?

Does God really live on earth with people? If heaven and the highest heaven cannot hold you, then how can this Temple that I have built?

But Moses said: Who am I to go to Pharaoh and lead your people out of Egypt?

This is what Jehovah says: Heaven is my throne. Earth is my footstool. Where can you people build a house or resting place for me?

You should seek Jehovah at the place Jehovah your God chooses out of all your tribes. This is where he will dwell and establish his name. This is where you should go.

It will happen in the place Jehovah choose for his name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I command you. Bring your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution of your hand, and all your choice vowed offerings that you will vow to Jehovah.

but in the place Jehovah chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

Take the holy things and the offerings you have vowed to bring, and go to the place Jehovah will choose.

David went into the tent he set up for the ark. Then he sat there and prayed: Jehovah All-Powerful, my family and I do not deserve what you have already done for us.

Yet my people and I cannot really give you anything. This is because everything is a gift from you, and we have only given back what is yours already.

Please give me the wisdom and knowledge I need to rule over them. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule this great people of yours?

The most High does not dwell in houses made with hands as the prophet says,

To the one an aroma of death leading to death and to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

To me, the very least of all the holy ones, was given grace (loving divine influence) to preach to the people of the nations the untraceable riches of Christ.
