SEV Biblia, Chapter 29:16
Oh SEŅOR Dios nuestro, toda esta abundancia que hemos aparejado para edificar Casa a tu santo Nombre, de tu mano es, y todo es tuyo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared , etc.] Of gold, silver, etc. that he and his people had provided and contributed: the gold, according to Jacob Leon f156 , amounted to 59,766 tons of gold, and 46,123 gilders, each ton to be reckoned at least 1000 pounds sterling; the silver, reduced to the value of gold, made 46,337 tons, and two hundred and fifty gilders; but both, according to Witsius f157 , amounted to 20,585 tons of gold; and if the talents were talents of the sanctuary, and they double the common talents, as some say they were, it was as much more, and may well be expressed by all this store , besides the brass, iron, etc. to build thee an house for thine holy name ; to perform holy and religious worship in it, for the glory of his name: cometh of thine hand, and [is] all thine own : this he repeats, that God might have all the glory of all they had and did.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-19 - We cannot form a right idea of the magnificence of the temple, and the buildings around it, about which such quantities of gold and silve were employed. But the unsearchable riches of Christ exceed the splendour of the temple, infinitely more than that surpassed the meanest cottage on earth. Instead of boasting of these large oblations David gave solemn thanks to the Lord. All they gave for the Lord' temple was his own; if they attempted to keep it, death would soon have removed them from it. They only use they could make of it to their rea advantage, was, to consecrate it to the service of Him who gave it.
