旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第3章

Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.
He began building on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.
The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide (using the cubit of the old standard).
The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits long across the width of the building and twenty cubits high. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
He paneled the main hall with pine and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree and chain designs.
He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim.
He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
He built the Most Holy Place, its length corresponding to the width of the temple--twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.
The gold nails weighed fifty shekels. He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.
In the Most Holy Place he made a pair of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold.
The total wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits. One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long and touched the temple wall, while its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the other cherub.
Similarly one wing of the second cherub was five cubits long and touched the other temple wall, and its other wing, also five cubits long, touched the wing of the first cherub.
The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits. They stood on their feet, facing the main hall.
He made the curtain of blue, purple and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it.
In the front of the temple he made two pillars, which together were thirty-five cubits long, each with a capital on top measuring five cubits.
He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains.
He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.
历代志下第三章   第 3 章 

  代下 3 章 > 所罗门在建圣殿中耗资庞大,花费的原则是什么?今日建教会又该怎样取舍? 

  3 章 所罗门为什么把圣殿装饰得金碧辉煌?虽然没有人能为神建造一座配得上祂的居所( 2:6 ),这座圣殿却想要成为世上至尊荣的设计。建造的程序和巧匠所施的工,本身就已经是敬拜的行动。尽管人在简朴的教堂内也可以与神相遇、向祂祷告,不过想建造美伦美奂的敬拜地方也是无可厚非的。 

  代下 3:1> 所罗门选择建圣殿的地方,有何特别的历史背景? 

  3:1 所罗门在摩利亚山上建造永久的圣殿,代替设在基遍、曾随以色列人在旷野漂流的流动式会幕。在这山上神曾阻止亚伯拉罕杀以撒献祭(参创 22:1-18 )。这块地原是禾场,大卫将它买下来筑祭坛(参撒下 24:15-25 ;代上 21:22-24 注释)。 

  代下 3:3> 经文中的量度标准是怎样的? 

  3:3 这里所说的一肘,等于现代的 52 公分。以西结在异象之中所见的圣殿,就是用这个尺度。 

  代下 3:10> 3:10 基路伯是大能的天使。──《灵修版圣经注释》
