1 Chronicles 28:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 12 And the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit
By the Spirit of God, who gave him the whole form of the temple, and all things relative to it; just as God showed to Moses the pattern of the tabernacle in the mount; the Targum is, by the spirit of prophecy that was with him.

of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the
dedicated things;
of the difference of which, see ( 1 Chronicles 26:20 ) .
