4. 3,000 gold talents of gold from Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver to overlay the walls of the houses—
5. gold for golden objects and silver for silver for all the work—into the hands of craftsmen. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself this day to Adonai?”

8. Whoever possessed stones gave them to the treasury of the House of Adonai in the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9. Then the people rejoiced over their freewill offerings because with a whole heart they offered willingly to Adonai. King David also rejoiced with great joy.
10. David blessed Adonai before the whole congregation saying, “Blessed are You, Adonai, God of Israel our father, from eternity to eternity!
11. Yours, Adonai, is the greatness, the power and the splendor, and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything in heaven and earth. Yours is the kingdom, Adonai and You are exalted above all.
12. Both riches and honor come from You. You rule over everything. In Your hand is power and might, in Your hand, to magnify and give strength to all.
13. Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise Your glorious Name.
