6:7 heard in the house. Here is a remarkable testimony to the engineering, architectural and construction skills of these ancient professionals.

6:7 in building. In both its unique beauty and its silent assemblage, the temple is a type of the spiritual temple now being erected by the Holy Spirit. “Now therefore, ye are...built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone: In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord” (Ephesians 2:19-21).
