an offering of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart, ye shall take My offering.

Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them in Thy strength, unto Thy holy habitation *.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Thine inheritance; in the place, O Lord, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in; in the sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established'.

sumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house ".

And the Lord appeared unto Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to Myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up Heaven that there be no rain; or if I command the locusts to devour the land; or if I send pestilence among My people; If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now Mine eyes shall be open, and Mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there for ever; and Mine eyes and Mine heart shall be there perpetually ".

Again, I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father Which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name; there am I in the midst of them°.
