Chapter 3 2. A Temporary Place of Worship Should Have Been Prepared—Solomon ... knew that it would take much time to carry out the grand designs given for the building of the temple; and before building the house of the Lord or the walls about Jerusalem, he should have prepared a temporary place of worship for the people of God. He should not have encouraged them, by his own example, to go to the high places to offer sacrifice. But we read, “Only the people of Israel sacrificed in high places.” This is mentioned as a matter that should have been otherwise.{2BC 1025.3}

Kapitel 3

2. Et midlertidigt sted til gudsdyrkelse skulle være beredt. - Salomon. . . vidste at det ville tage megen tid at gennemføre de store planer der var givet for templets opbyggelse; og før opbygningen af Herrens hus eller murene omkring Jerusalem, burde han have forberedt et midlertidigt sted til at Guds folk kunne tilbede. Han burde ikke have opmuntret dem, med sit eget eksempel, at tage til offerhøjene og opsende ofre. Men vi læser: ”Kun ofrede folket på offerhøjene”. Dette nævnes som en sag der skulle være på en anden måde.
