I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy— a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.

And I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that my name may be there forever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

For now I have chosen and consecrated this house so that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there always.

For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

And I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My name may be there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there at all times.

For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

Now I have chosen and consecrated this temple by making it my permanent home; I will be constantly present there.

For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.

Now my eyes will see them. My ears will pay attention to the prayers they offer in this place.

‘ I brought my people out of Egypt. Since then, a temple for my Name has not been built. I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel for that purpose. And I have not chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel.But now I have chosen Jerusalem. I will put my Name there. And I have chosen David to rule over my people Israel.’

The Lord said to him,“ I have heard you pray to me. I have heard you ask me to help you. You have built this temple. I have set it apart for myself. My Name will be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

The Lord appeared to him at night. The Lord said,“ I have heard your prayer. I have chosen this place for myself. It is a temple where sacrifices will be offered.

A voice from heaven said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him.”

Jesus answered them,“ When you destroy this temple, I will raise it up again in three days.”They replied,“ It has taken 46 years to build this temple. Are you going to raise it up in three days?”But the temple Jesus had spoken about was his body.

The Lord said to Satan,“ May the Lord correct you! He has chosen Jerusalem. So may he correct you! Isn’t this man Joshua like a burning stick pulled out of the fire?”

God’s whole nature is living in Christ in human form.

He has said,“ This will be my resting place for ever and ever. Here I will sit on my throne, because that’s what I want.

Let your eyes look toward this temple day and night. You said you would put your Name here. Listen to the prayer I’m praying toward this place.

He built altars in the Lord’ s temple. The Lord had said about his temple,“ My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”In the two courtyards of the Lord’ s temple Manasseh built altars to honor all the stars in the sky.He sacrificed his children in the fire to other gods. He did it in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. He practiced all kinds of evil magic. He took part in worshiping evil powers. He got messages from people who had died. He talked to the spirits of people who have died. He did many things that were evil in the eyes of the Lord. Manasseh made the Lord very angry.Manasseh had carved a statue of a god. He put it in God’s temple. God had spoken to David and his son Solomon about the temple. He had said,“ My Name will be in this temple and in Jerusalem forever. Out of all the cities in the tribes of Israel I have chosen Jerusalem.

The Lord your God will choose a special place. He will put his Name there. But suppose that place is too far away from you. Then you can kill animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you. Do it just as I have commanded you. In your own towns you can eat as much of the meat as you want to.

‘ I brought my people Israel out of Egypt. Ever since, I haven’t chosen a city in any tribe of Israel where a temple could be built for my Name. But I have chosen David to rule over my people Israel.’

Manasseh had carved a pole used to worship the female god named Asherah. He put it in the temple. The Lord had spoken to David and his son Solomon about the temple. He had said,“ My Name will be in this temple and in Jerusalem forever. Out of all the cities in the tribes of Israel I have chosen Jerusalem.I gave this land to your people who lived long ago. I will not make the Israelites wander away from it again. But they must be careful to do everything I commanded them. They must obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave them.”

And they turn back to you with all their heart and soul. Suppose it happens in the land of their enemies who took them away as prisoners. There they pray to you toward the land you gave their people long ago. They pray toward the city you have chosen. And they pray toward the temple I’ve built for your Name.

“ Suppose your people have sinned against you. And because of that, the sky is closed up and there isn’t any rain. But your people pray toward this place. They praise you by admitting they’ve sinned. And they turn away from their sin because you have made them suffer.

Be filled with joy in the sight of the Lord your God. Be joyful at the special place he will choose for his Name. You, your children, and your male and female servants should be joyful. So should the Levites living in your towns. So should the outsiders and widows living among you. And so should the children whose fathers have died.

“ Suppose your people go to war against their enemies. It doesn’t matter where you send them. And suppose they pray to you toward the city you have chosen. They pray toward the temple I’ve built for your Name.

He built altars in the Lord’ s temple. The Lord had said about his temple,“ I will put my Name there in Jerusalem.”
