 40And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses. (Num. 28:1‑29:40)
• Here Solomon explains to Huram the meaning and significance of the construction of the temple, and he does so in a different way than in the book of Kings....Here the temple is the place where God is to be approached in worship, a place open not only to Israel, but also to the nations whom Huram represents. (“Solomon and Huram (Hiram): 2 Chronicles 2” by H.L. Rossier)
• The temple is so much the place of worship in Solomon's mind, that only burnt offerings are mentioned here, without any reference to sin offerings; sweet incense of fragrant drugs, the symbol of praise, occupies the first place. When it is a question in Ezekiel 45 of the millennial service in the temple, whether for Israel, or for the "prince" of the house of David, Christ's viceroy on the earth, we find the sin offering, for all are in need of it. (“Solomon and Huram (Hiram): 2 Chronicles 2” by H.L. Rossier)
