The use of "LORD" (YHWH) emphasizes God's eternal and unchanging nature. The term "our God" signifies a personal and communal relationship, reflecting the covenant established with Abraham and reaffirmed through Moses. This relationship is central to Israel's identity and worship practices.from Your hand comes all this abundance This acknowledges God's sovereignty and provision. The abundance refers to the wealth and resources gathered for the construction of the temple. It highlights the belief that all material blessings originate from God, a theme consistent throughout Scripture (e.g., <a href="/deuteronomy/8-18.htm">Deuteronomy 8:18</a>). This perspective fosters humility and gratitude, recognizing human stewardship rather than ownership.that we have provided to build You a house The "house" refers to the temple Solomon would build in Jerusalem, a central place for worship and sacrifice. The temple's construction was a fulfillment of God's promise to David (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-13</a>). The phrase underscores the communal effort and dedication of resources for a sacred purpose, reflecting the importance of collective worship and the centrality of the temple in Israelite religion.for Your holy Name The temple was to be a dwelling place for God's Name, symbolizing His presence among His people. The "holy Name" signifies God's character and reputation, which Israel was to honor and uphold. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's holiness and the call for His people to be holy (<a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>). The temple served as a tangible reminder of God's holiness and His covenant with Israel.and all of it belongs to You This phrase reiterates the theme of divine ownership and human stewardship. It reflects the biblical understanding that everything in creation is God's (<a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24:1</a>). This acknowledgment serves as a reminder of the temporary nature of human possession and the ultimate accountability to God for how resources are used. It encourages a mindset of generosity and responsibility in the use of God's gifts.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The King of Israel who is speaking in this verse.
