Carry out his regulations and obey them

1 Kings 6:1-38


In the 480 year after the Israelite had come out of Egypt.
The foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv. In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eight month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. It had spent seven years building it.
The temple for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high.
In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer,chisel or any other iron tool was heard into the temple walls.
Roofing the temple with beams and cedar planks.
Solomon lined temple interior walls with cedar boards, paneling them from the floors o the temple to the ceiling, and covered the floor of the temple  with planks of pine.
Solomon covered the inside of the temple with pure gold, and he extended god chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, which was overlaid with gold.
In the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood with five-side jambs.
Why?
480th year : the figure here (12x40) may indicate 12 generations rather than a precise number of years.
No noise: Even at this stage the place was regarded as holy. The stone was quarried close to the site, but so deep underground that no sound would carry.
How?
More important is carry out regulations and all commands of the Lord and obey them. The Lord will live among us and will not abandon us.
