For building and adorning it, and providing proper utensils for it:

1 Crônicas 29:7 In-Context

5 ouro para as obras e ouro, e prata para as de prata, para toda a obra a ser feita por mão de artífices. Quem, pois, está disposto a fazer oferta voluntária, consagrando-se hoje ao Senhor?
6 Então os chefes das casas paternas, os chefes das tribos de Israel, e os chefes de mil e de cem, juntamente com os intendentes da obra do rei, fizeram ofertas voluntárias;
7 e deram para o serviço da casa de Deus cinco mil talentos e dez mil , dracmas de ouro, e dez mil talentos de prata, dezoito mil talentos de bronze, e cem mil talentos de ferro.
8 E os que tinham pedras preciosas deram-nas para o tesouro da casa do Senhor, que estava ao cargo de Jeiel, o gersonita.
9 E o povo se alegrou das ofertas voluntárias que estes fizeram, pois de um coração perfeito as haviam oferecido ao Senhor; e também o rei Davi teve grande alegria.
