+----- The Proper Order Of Things; Solomon's Thoughts While Building His Temple

Before he died, my Dad
pulled me close, whispered
in my ear, King to King, his breath
the first flutter of the dove’s wings
excitedly leaving Noah’s ark
lusting for first sight of land.
“The time for my warring is over…
you restore the proper order of things.”
Build God’s house amongst his
peoples’. So succeeding
generations can know, love,
and distinguish his voice from the
Serpent’s, Pharaoh’s, the Philistines’.
And perhaps – I’ll see you in Eden
again. One day redeemed.

------1 Kings 6:1-7
In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord. The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. And he made for the house windows with recessed frames. He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around. The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad. For around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house. When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry, so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the house while it was being built.
