1 Huszonötödik esztendejében fogságunknak, az esztendõnek kezdetén, a hónap tizedikén, a tizennegyedik esztendõben az után, hogy a város megveretett, épen ezen a napon lõn az Úr keze én rajtam, és elvitt engemet oda.

2 Isteni látásokban vitt engem Izráel földjére, és letõn engem egy igen magas hegyre, s azon vala mint egy város épülete dél felõl.

3 És oda vitt engem, és ímé egy férfiú vala ott, tekintete mint az ércznek tekintete, és len-zsinór vala kezében és mérõpálcza; és a kapuban áll vala.

4 És szóla nékem az a férfiú: Embernek fia! láss szemeiddel és füleiddel hallj, és figyelmetes légy mindarra, a mit mutatok néked; mert hogy ezeket megmutassam néked, azért hozattál ide: hirdesd mindazokat, a miket látsz, Izráel házának.

5 És ímé, kõfal vala a házon kivül köröskörül; és a férfiú kezében a mérõpálcza vala hat singnyi (a [köz]singben s egy tenyérben); és méré az épület szélességét egy pálczányira s magasságát egy pálczányira.

6 És méne egy kapuhoz, mely napkeletre néz vala, és felméne grádicsain, és méré a kapu küszöbét egy pálczányi szélességre, a másik küszöböt is egy pálczányi szélességre;

7 És az õrkamarát egy pálczányi hosszúságra és egy pálczányi szélességre, és az õrkamarák közét öt singnyire, és a kapu küszöbét, a kapu tornácza mellett belõl, egy pálczányira.

8 És méré a kapu tornáczát belõl egy pálczányira.

9 És méré a kapu tornáczát nyolcz singnyire, és gyámoszlopait két singnyire; vala pedig a kapu tornácza belõl.

10 És a napkeleti kapunak mind egyfelõl, mind másfelõl három-három õrkamarája vala, egy mértéke mind a háromnak, és egy mértékök a gyámoszlopoknak is mind egyfelõl, mind másfelõl.

11 És méré a kapu nyílásának szélességét tíz singre, és a kapu hosszúságát tizenhárom singre;

12 És az õrkamarák elõtt való korlátot egy singnyire, és egy singnyire vala e korlát másfelõl is; mindenik õrkamara pedig hat singnyi vala egyfelõl és hat singnyi másfelõl.

13 És méré a kaput az egyik õrkamara tetejétõl a másik tetejéig; huszonöt singnyi szélességre [ott, hol] ajtó ajtóval vala szemben.

14 És tevé a gyámoszlopokat hatvan singre, és a gyámoszlopokhoz [nyúlik] vala a pitvar a kapunál körös-körül.

15 És a bejárat kapujának elejétõl a belsõ kapu tornáczának elejéig vala ötven sing.

16 És az õrkamarákon szoros ablakok valának, és gyámoszlopaikon is belül a kapuban köröskörül, hasonlóképen a tornáczokon; és valának ablakok köröskörül belõl, és a gyámoszlopokon pálmafaragások.

17 És vitt engem a külsõ pitvarba, és ímé, ott kamarák és kõbõl rakott pádimentom vala készítve a pitvaron köröskörül; harmincz kamara vala a kõbõl rakott pádimentomon.

18 És a kõbõl rakott pádimentom a kapuk mellett vala a kapuk hosszúsága szerint: az alsó kõbõl rakott pádimentom vala ez.

19 És méré a szélességet az alsó kapu elejétõl fogva a belsõ pitvar külsõ elejéig száz singnyire, a keleti és északi oldalon.

20 És a kapunak is, mely néz vala északra, a külsõ pitvaron, megméré hosszúságát és szélességét;

21 És õrkamarái valának: három egyfelõl és három másfelõl, és gyámoszlopai és tornácza egy mértékben valának az elsõ kapuval: ötven sing a hosszúsága, és szélessége huszonöt sing.

22 És ablakai és tornácza és pálmafaragásai annak a kapunak mértéke szerint valának, mely néz napkeletre, és hét grádicson mennek vala fel hozzá; és tornáczai, e [grádicsok] elõtt valának.

23 És a belsõ pitvarnak kapuja vala az északi és napkeleti kapu ellenében, és mére kaputól kapuig száz singet.

24 És vitt engem a déli útra, és ímé, egy kapu vala [ott] dél felé, és megméré gyámoszlopait és tornáczát ugyanama mérték szerint.

25 És ablakai valának és tornáczának is köröskörül, olyanok mint amaz ablakok; hosszúsága ötven sing, és szélessége huszonöt sing.

26 És hét grádicsa vala feljáratának, és tornácza azok elõtt vala; és pálmafaragásai valának egyik egyfelõl, a másik másfelõl gyámoszlopain.

27 És kapuja vala a belsõ pitvarnak dél felé, és mére kaputól kapuig dél felé száz singet.

28 És bevitt engemet a déli kapun át a belsõ pitvarba, és megméré a déli kaput ugyanama mértékek szerint;

29 És õrkamaráit és gyámoszlopait és tornáczát ugyanama mértékek szerint, és ablakai valának és tornáczának is köröskörül, hosszúsága ötven sing, és szélessége huszonöt sing.

30 És tornáczok valának köröskörül, hosszúságuk huszonöt sing, és szélességök öt sing.

31 És tornácza a külsõ pitvar felé vala, és pálmafaragások valának gyámoszlopain, és nyolcz grádicsa vala feljáratának.

32 Vitt továbbá engem a belsõ pitvarba kelet felé, és megméré a kaput ugyanama mértékek szerint;

33 És õrkamaráit és gyámoszlopait és tornáczát ugyanama mértékek szerint, és ablakai valának és tornáczának is köröskörül, hosszúsága ötven sing, és szélessége huszonöt sing.

34 És tornácza vala a külsõ pitvar felé, és gyámoszlopain pálmafaragások valának mind egy-, mind másfelõl, és nyolcz grádicsa vala feljáratának.

35 És vitt engem az északi kapuhoz, és megméré ugyanama mértékek szerint;

36 Õrkamaráit, gyámoszlopait és tornáczát, és ablakai valának köröskörül, hosszúsága ötven sing, és szélessége huszonöt sing.

37 És tornácza a külsõ pitvar felé vala, és pálmafaragások valának gyámoszlopain mind egyfelõl, mind másfelõl, és nyolcz grádicsa vala feljáratának.

38 És egy kamara vala, és annak ajtaja a kapuk gyámoszlopainál; ott mossák vala meg az egészen égõáldozatot.

39 És a kapu tornáczában két asztal vala egyfelõl, és másfelõl is két asztal vala, hogy azokon öljék meg az egészen égõáldozatot és a bûnért való áldozatot és a vétekért való áldozatot.

40 És oldalt kivül, északra onnét, hol felmennek a kapu ajtajához, két asztal vala, és a kapu tornáczának másik oldalán is két asztal.

41 Négy asztal egyfelõl, és másfelõl is Négy asztal a kapu oldalán; nyolcz asztal, ezeken ölik vala [az áldozatot.

42 És négy asztal vala az égõáldozatra faragott kõbõl, másfél sing hosszú és másfél sing széles és egy sing magas; ezekre teszik a szerszámokat, melyekkel az égõáldozatot és egyéb áldozatot ölnek.

43 És a szegek valának egy tenyérnyiek, oda erõsítve belõl köröskörül, s az asztalokra [jöve] az áldozat húsa.

44 A belsõ kapun kivül pedig vala két kamara az énekesek számára a belsõ pitvarban, egyik oldalt az északi kaputól, melynek eleje dél felé vala, s a másik oldalt a déli kaputól, melynek eleje észak felé vala.

45 És szóla nékem: Ez a kamara, mely délre néz, a papoké, kik a házhoz való szolgálatban foglalatosak:

46 Az a kamara pedig, mely északra néz, azoké a papoké, kik az oltárhoz való szolgálatban foglalatosak, ezek a Sádók fiai, kik az Úrhoz járulnak a Lévi fiai közül, hogy szolgáljanak néki.

47 És megméré a pitvart; hosszúsága száz sing és szélessége is száz sing, négyszögre; és az oltár vala a ház elõtt.

48 És vitt engem a ház tornáczába, és a tornácz gyámoszlopát megméré egyfelõl is öt singre, másfelõl is öt singre; a kapu szélességét pedig három singre egyfelõl s másfelõl is három singre.

49 A tornácz hosszúsága húsz sing vala és a szélessége tizenegy sing, és tíz grádicson mennek vala föl hozzá; és oszlopok valának a gyámoszlopoknál, egyik egyfelõl, másik másfelõl.

5291. 'And let him take up a fifth part of the land [of Egypt]' means which are to be preserved and then stored away. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking up a fifth part' as that which implies something similar to taking tenths. In the Word 'taking tenths' means preserving remnants, and preserving remnants is a gathering together and then storing away of forms of truth and good. For remnants are the forms of good and truth that the Lord has stored away in the interior man, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 661, 1050, 1906, 2284, 5135, and 'tenths' is used in the Word to mean remnants, 576, 1738, 2280, and so also is 'ten', 1906, 2284. And the number five, which is half of ten, is likewise used to mean the same. Half or twice any number when used in the Word holds the same meaning as the number itself. Twenty for example holds the same meaning as ten, four the same as two, six the same as three, twenty-four the same as twelve, and so on. A multiplication of a number also holds the same meaning. A hundred or a thousand for example holds the same as ten; seventy-two and also a hundred and forty-four hold the same as twelve. Therefore what it is that composite numbers hold within them may be seen from the simple numbers of which they are the products. What the more simple numbers hold within them may be seen in a similar way from their integers. Five for example may be seen from ten, two and a half from five, and so on. In general it should be recognized that multiples hold the same meaning as their factors, yet more completely, while quotients hold the same meaning as their dividends, yet less completely.

[2] As regards the number five specifically, this has a dual meaning. First, it means that which is little and consequently something; second, it means remnants. It receives its meaning of that which is little from its relationship with other numbers meaning that which is much, namely a thousand and a hundred, and therefore ten also. For 'a thousand' and 'a hundred' mean that which is much, see 2575, 2636, and so therefore does 'ten', 3107, 4638, as a consequence of which 'five' means that which is little, and also something, 649, 4638. But 'five' means remnants when it has a connection with ten, 'ten' in this case meaning remnants, as stated above. For all numbers used in the Word have spiritual realities as their meaning, see 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265.

[3] Anyone who does not know that the Word has an internal sense which is not visible in the letter will be utterly astonished by the idea that spiritual realities too are meant by the numbers used in the Word. The specific reason for his astonishment is his inability to use numbers to give shape to any spiritual idea, when yet the spiritual ideas known to angels present themselves as numbers, see 5265. The identity of those ideas or spiritual realities to which numbers correspond can, it is true, be known; but the origin of such correspondence remains hidden, such as the origin of the correspondence of 'twelve' to all aspects of faith, the correspondence of 'seven' to things that are holy, as well as that of 'ten' and also 'five' to forms of good and truth stored up by the Lord within the interior man, and so on. Even so, it is enough if people know simply that such a correspondence does exist and that by virtue of that correspondence each number used in the Word denotes something present in the spiritual world, consequently that what is Divine has been inspired into them and so lies concealed within them.

[4] Examples of this are seen in the following places where 'five' is mentioned, such as the Lord's parable in Matthew 25:14 and following verses about the man who, before going away to a foreign country, placed his resources in the hands of his servants. To the first he gave five talents, to the second two, and to the third one. The servant who received five talents traded with them and earned five talents more. In a similar way the one who received two earned two more; but the servant who received one hid his master's money 1 in the earth. The person whose thought does not extend beyond the literal sense knows no other than this, that the numbers five, two, and one have been adopted merely to make up the story told in the parable and that they entail nothing more, when in fact those actual numbers hold some arcanum within them. The servant who received the five talents means those people who have accepted forms of good and truth from the Lord and so have received remnants. The one who received the two talents means those who at a more advanced stage in life have linked charity to faith, while the servant who received the one means someone who receives faith alone devoid of charity. Regarding this servant it is said that he hid his master's money 1 in the earth - the reason for this description being that the money 1 he is said to have received means in the internal sense truth which is the truth of faith, 1551, 2954; but faith that is devoid of charity cannot earn any interest, that is, it cannot be fruitful. These are the kinds of matters that numbers hold within them.

[5] Much the same is contained in other parables, such as the parable in Luke 19:12 and following verses regarding someone who journeyed to a far country to receive a kingdom. He gave his servants ten minas and told them to trade with these until he came back. When he returned the first said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten minas'. He said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful over a very little, be over ten cities'. The second said, 'Sir, your mina has made five minas', and to him too he said, 'You also, be over five cities'. The third had kept his mina stored away in a handkerchief. But the master said, 'Take the mina from him and give it to him who has ten minas'. Here in a similar way 'ten' and 'five' mean remnants, 'ten' rather more, 'five' somewhat less. The one who kept his mina stored away in a handkerchief describes those who acquire the truths of faith but do not join them to the good deeds of charity, so that these truths do not gain interest or become fruitful at all.

[6] The same meaning exists in other places where the Lord uses these numbers, such as the place where He refers to what one of those invited to a supper said,

I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going away to test them. Luke 14:19.

Also in the place where He refers to what the rich man said to Abraham,

I have five brothers; send [Lazarus] to speak to them, lest they come into this place of torment. Luke 16:28.

And in the place where He talks about ten virgins, five of whom were wise and five were foolish, Matthew 25:1-13. The following words spoken by the Lord in a similar way contain such numbers,

Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division; for from now on there will be in one house five divided; three against two, and two against three. Luke 12:51-52.

And the following details given in the historical narrative also contain such numbers - the Lord fed five thousand people with five loaves and two fishes; He commanded them to sit down in groups of a hundred and groups of fifty; and after they had eaten they collected twelve baskets of broken pieces, Matthew 14:15-21; Mark 6:38 and following verses; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:5-13.

[7] It is hardly credible that the numbers included in such details, since these belong to a historical narrative, have a spiritual meaning. That is, five thousand, the number of people, has a spiritual meaning; so does five, the number of loaves, as well as two, the number of fishes. A hundred, and likewise fifty, the numbers of people sitting down together, each have a spiritual meaning; and so lastly does twelve, the number of baskets containing broken pieces. Though it may seem incredible, every detail holds some arcanum. Every single thing occurred providentially, to the end that Divine realities might be represented by them.

[8] In the following places too 'five' means things of a similar nature in the spiritual world, and it corresponds to such in both senses, the genuine sense and the contrary one: In Isaiah,

Gleanings will be left in it, as in the shaking of an olive tree, 2 two or three berries on the top of the [highest] branch, four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree. Isaiah 17:6-7.

In the same prophet,

On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak in the lips of Canaan and swear to Jehovah Zebaoth. Isaiah 19:18.

In the same prophet,

One thousand at the rebuke of one, at the rebuke of five you are fleeing, until you remain like a flagstaff on top of a mountain, like a signal upon a hill. Isaiah 30:17.

In John,

The fifth angel sounded, at which point I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key of the pit of the abyss. It was given the locusts which were coming out from there, that they should not kill the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads, but that they should torment them five months. Revelation 9:1, 3, 5, 10.

In the same book,

Here is intelligence, if anyone has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits; and there are seven kings. Five have fallen; and one is, the other has not yet come. And when he comes he must remain a short time. Revelation 17:9-10.

[9] The number five holds a similar representative meaning in the following places,

The valuation for a man or for a woman was determined by their ages - between one month and five years, and between five years and twenty years. Leviticus 27:1-9.

If a field was redeemed, one-fifth was to be added. Leviticus 27:19.

If tithes were redeemed, again one fifth was to be added. Leviticus 27:31.

The firstborn who were in excess [of the Levites] were to be redeemed for five shekels [each]. Numbers 3:46-end.

The firstborn of an unclean beast was to be redeemed with the addition of one-fifth. Leviticus 27:27.

In the case of any wrongs that were done one-fifth was to be added as a penalty. Leviticus 22:14; 17:13, 15; Numbers 5:6-8.

Anyone who stole an ox or one of the flock, and who slaughtered it or sold it, had to restore five oxen for an ox, and four of the flock for one of the flock. Exodus 11:1.

[10] The fact that the number five contains some heavenly arcanum, as does ten also, is evident from the cherubs referred to in the first Book of Kings,

In the sanctuary Solomon made two cherubs of olive wood, each ten cubits high. The wing of one cherub was five cubits, and the wing of the other cherub five cubits; ten cubits from the tips of the wings of one to the tips of the wings of the other. Thus a cherub was ten cubits; both cherubs were the same size and same shape. 1 Kings 6:23-25.

The same fact is evident from the lavers around the temple, and also from the lampstands, described in the same book,

Five bases for the lavers were placed on the right side of the house, 3 and five on the left side of the house. 3 Also, five lampstands were placed on the right, and five on the left in front of the sanctuary. 1 Kings 7:39, 49.

The bronze sea was ten cubits from one brim to the other, and five cubits high, and thirty cubits in circumference. 1 Kings 7:13.

All this was prescribed so that holy things might be meant spiritually not only by the numbers ten and five but also by thirty, for although geometrically this number giving the circumference is not right for the stated diameter, it nevertheless implies spiritually what is meant by the rim of a vessel.

[11] All numbers mentioned in the Word mean things existing in the spiritual world, as is clearly evident from the numbers used in Ezekiel, where a new land, a new city, a new temple, and a detailed measuring of these by the angel are described; see Chapters 40-43, 45-49 [sic.]. Numbers are used in these chapters to describe practically every sacred object, and therefore anyone unacquainted with what those numbers hold within them can know scarcely anything about the arcana present there. The number ten and the number five occur there in Ezekiel 40:7, 11, 48; 41:2, 9, 11-12; 42:4; 45:11, 14, in addition to the multiplications of such numbers, namely twenty-five, fifty, five hundred, and five thousand. As regards the new land, the new city, and the new temple mentioned in those chapters, these mean the Lord's kingdom in heaven, and therefore His Church on earth, as is clear from every detail mentioned there.

[12] All the references above to 'five' have been gathered together for the reason that here and in what follows the subject is the land of Egypt, where, in the seven years of abundance, a fifth part of the corn was to be gathered and preserved for use in the succeeding years of famine. This demonstrates that 'the fifth part' means the forms of good and truth which a person has received from the Lord, who has stored them away and preserved them in that person for future use when there is a famine, that is, when there is an absence and deprivation of goodness and truth. For unless the Lord stored away in a person such forms of good and truth, there would be nothing to raise him up in a state of temptation and vastation and consequently to make it possible for him to be regenerated, so that he would be left without any means of salvation in the next life.

1 Kings 7

Studie

   

1 Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

2 For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

3 It was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row.

4 There were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.

5 All the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.

6 He made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.

7 He made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

8 His house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.

9 All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

10 The foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11 Above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.

12 The great court around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and the porch of the house.

13 King Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

14 He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.

15 For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them about.

16 He made two capitals of molten brass, to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

17 There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

18 So he made the pillars; and there were two rows around on the one network, to cover the capitals that were on the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital.

19 The capitals that were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.

20 There were capitals above also on the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows around on the other capital.

21 He set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.

22 On the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

23 He made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it.

24 Under its brim around there were buds which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea: the buds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

25 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.

26 It was a handbreadth thick: and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

27 He made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.

28 The work of the bases was like this: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

29 and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

30 Every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet of it had supports: beneath the basin were the supports molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

31 The mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its mouth were engravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

32 The four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

33 The work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.

34 There were four supports at the four corners of each base: its supports were of the base itself.

35 In the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.

36 On the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.

37 In this way, he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

38 He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.

39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

40 Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in the house of Yahweh:

41 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;

42 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

43 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;

44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished brass.

46 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

47 Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.

48 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show bread was, of gold;

49 and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.

51 Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.
