8 Then the Lord will disclose these things, and the glory of the Lord shall be seen with the cloud, as it was also shown to Moses, also as Solomon implored that the place might be consecrated greatly,

9 and it was also declared that he, having wisdom, offered a sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.
