So King Solomon finished building the Temple. He put in a ceiling made of beams and boards of cedar.

The three-storied annex, each story 7 1/2 feet high, was built against the outside walls of the Temple, and was joined to them by cedar beams.

An inner room, called the Most Holy Place, was built in the rear of the Temple. It was 30 feet long and was partitioned off by cedar boards reaching from the floor to the ceiling.

This inner room was 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 30 feet high, all covered with pure gold. The altar was covered with cedar panels.

I know how skillful your lumbermen are, so send me cedar, cypress, and juniper logs from Lebanon. I am ready to send my men to assist yours

As provisions for your lumbermen, I will send you 100,000 bushels of wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil."

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, even the cedars of Lebanon.

If someone has done you wrong, do not repay him with a wrong. Try to do what everyone considers to be good.

For the body itself is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.

And if the ear were to say, "Because I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body," that would not keep it from being a part of the body.

As it is, however, God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be.

As it is, there are many parts but one body.

Each one of us has received a special gift in proportion to what Christ has given.

Canaan's sons---Sidon, the oldest, and Heth---were the ancestors of the peoples who bear their names.

The people gave money to pay the stonemasons and the carpenters and gave food, drink, and olive oil to be sent to the cities of Tyre and Sidon in exchange for cedar trees from Lebanon, which were to be brought by sea to Joppa. All this was done with the permission of Emperor Cyrus of Persia.
