This is an ordinance for euer to Israel. 5And the house which I build, is great: for great is our God aboue all gods. 6But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heauen, and heauen of heauens cannot conteine him? who am I then that I should build him an house? saue onely to burne sacrifice before him?
