Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:

And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.

Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.

And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:

And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
