Then the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings for the festivals, New Moons, and Sabbaths #– #for all the appointed times of the house of Israel #– #will be the prince’s responsibility. He will provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.
Now I am building a temple for the name of the Lord my God in order to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for displaying the rows of the Bread of the Presence continuously, and for sacrificing burnt offerings for the morning and the evening, the Sabbaths and the New Moons, and the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is ordained for Israel permanently.
The priests and the Levites were standing at their stations. The Levites had the musical instruments of the Lord, which King David had made to give thanks to the Lord #– #‘for his faithful love endures for ever’ #– #when he offered praise with them. Opposite the Levites, the priests were blowing trumpets, and all the people were standing.
