2 Crônicas 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 7:3

And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down,
&c.] From heaven upon the sacrifice, and consumed it, which was all visible to the eye; or it may be this was a distinct fire from the former, since it seems to have come down upon the house, and so may denote a bright, shining, glorious light; the same with what follows:

and the glory of the Lord upon the house;
for not only the house was filled with the glory, but there was a bright stream of light and glory over it, very dazzling and surprising:

they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement;
of the great court, where they were assembled:

and worshipped and praised the Lord:
worshipped him by praising him:

saying, for he is good;
in his nature, promises, and blessings; is good, and does good:

for his mercy endureth for ever;
this was the close of their song of praise.

2 Os sacerdotes não conseguiam entrar no templo do SENHOR, porque a glória do SENHOR o enchia.

3 Quando todos os israelitas viram o fogo descendo e a glória do SENHOR sobre o templo, ajoelharam-se no pavimento com o rosto em terra, adoraram e deram graças ao SENHOR, dizendo:“Ele é bom;o seu amor dura para sempre”.

4 Então o rei e todo o Israel ofereceram sacrifícios ao SENHOR.

5 O rei Salomão ofereceu em sacrifício vinte e dois mil bois e cento e vinte mil ovelhas. Assim o rei e todo o povo fizeram a dedicação do templo de Deus.
