Prophet Pearls #22-#23 Vayakhel – Pekudei
1 Kings 7:40-8:21
March 13, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—combines two passages and covers 1 Kings 7:40–8:21. These Prophet readings accompany the Torah portions Vayakhel (Exodus 35:1–38:20) and Pekudei (Exodus 38:21–40:38).
This Haftorah begins by mentioning a number of items that Solomon had contracted with Hiram, king of Tyre, to make for the temple in Jerusalem. The passage goes on to relate how Solomon oversaw the placement of the Ark of the Covenant into the temple, followed by his blessing over the nation. The king declared that day how God had made it possible for him to build a house where the name of God might dwell among His people. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
Note: The remaining portions are read with
Sephardic Hebrew pronunciation. Recordings provided by Mechon Mamre.

Are there any surviving documents that go into more detail about David preparing temple ceremonies and rituals? Are the rituals known today at all likely the same ones that David prepared?
