Then Solomon said,“ The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud;

Then Solomon said,“ Lord, you have said you would live in a dark cloud.

Then Solomon said,“ The Lord has said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

Then Solomon prayed,“ O Lord, you have said that you would live in a thick cloud of darkness.

Then Solomon said,“ The Lord has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.

Then Solomon spoke:“ The Lord said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

Then spake Solomon, Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Then Solomon said: The Lord said that He would dwell in thick darkness.

Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Then Solomon said,“ The LORD has said that he lives in thick darkness.

Then Solomon said,“ Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Clouds and total darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

The LORD said to Moses,“ Tell your brother Aaron that he may not come whenever he wants into the holy place behind the curtain in front of the mercy seat on the ark or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.

Then Solomon said: The LORD said he would dwell in total darkness,but I have built an exalted temple for you, a place for your dwelling forever.Then the king turned and blessed the entire congregation of Israel while they were standing.He said: Blessed be the LORD God of Israel! He spoke directly to my father David, and he has fulfilled the promise by his power. He said,“ Since the day I brought my people Israel out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city to build a temple in among any of the tribes of Israel, so that my name would be there, and I have not chosen a man to be ruler over my people Israel.But I have chosen Jerusalem so that my name will be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”My father David had his heart set on building a temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.However, the LORD said to my father David,“ Since it was your desire to build a temple for my name, you have done well to have this desire.Yet, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own offspring, will build the temple for my name.”So the LORD has fulfilled what he promised. I have taken the place of my father David and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.I have put the ark there, where the LORD’s covenant is that he made with the Israelites.

Smoke rose from his nostrils, and consuming fire came from his mouth; coals were set ablaze by it.He bent the heavens and came down, total darkness beneath his feet.He rode on a cherub and flew, soaring on the wings of the wind.He made darkness his hiding place, dark storm clouds his canopy around him.

Yes, you are a God who hides, God of Israel, Savior.

You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire into the heavens and enveloped in a totally black cloud.

And the people remained standing at a distance as Moses approached the total darkness where God was.

“ The LORD spoke these commands in a loud voice to your entire assembly from the fire, cloud, and total darkness on the mountain; he added nothing more. He wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

For you have not come to what could be touched, to a blazing fire, to darkness, gloom, and storm,
