Psalms 50:10-12
for every animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.I know every bird of the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and everything in it is mine.

1 Chronicles 29 14-1 Chronicles 29 16
But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your own hand.For we are aliens and temporary residents in your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.LORD our God, all this wealth that we’ve provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand; everything belongs to you.

1 Kings 6 20-1 Kings 6 35
The interior of the sanctuary was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide, and thirty feet high; he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the cedar altar.Next, Solomon overlaid the interior of the temple with pure gold, and he hung gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary and overlaid it with gold.So he added the gold overlay to the entire temple until everything was completely finished, including the entire altar that belongs to the inner sanctuary.In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim 15 feet high out of olive wood.One wing of the first cherub was 7½ feet long, and the other wing was 7½ feet long. The wingspan was 15 feet from tip to tip.The second cherub also was 15 feet; both cherubim had the same size and shape.The first cherub’s height was 15 feet and so was the second cherub’s.Then he put the cherubim inside the inner temple. Since their wings were spread out, the first one’s wing touched one wall while the second cherub’s wing touched the other wall, and in the middle of the temple their wings were touching wing to wing.He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.He carved all the surrounding temple walls with carved engravings— cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms— in the inner and outer sanctuaries.He overlaid the temple floor with gold in both the inner and the outer sanctuaries.For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made olive wood doors. The pillars of the doorposts were five-sided.The two doors were made of olive wood. He carved cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms on them and overlaid them with gold, hammering gold over the cherubim and palm trees.In the same way, he made four-sided olive wood doorposts for the sanctuary entrance.The two doors were made of cypress wood; the first door had two folding sides, and the second door had two folding panels.He carved cherubim, palm trees, and flower blossoms on them and overlaid them with gold applied evenly over the carving.
