1 Joash reigned in the seventh year of Jehu. And he reigned forty years in
Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Zibiah of Beer-Sheba. 2 And Joash did that which was good in the eyes of YAHUVEH all his days in which
Jehoiada the priest guided him; 3 only, the high places were not destroyed; the people still sacrificed and
offered incense in high places. 4 And Joash said to the priests, All the silver of the devoted things that is
brought into the house of YAHUVEH, the silver coming over, each man the silver
of his valuation, all the silver that comes upon any man's heart to bring into
the house of YAHUVEH, 5 even the priests shall take to themselves, each man from his friend; and they
shall repair the breach of the house, in all places where a breach may be found. 6 And it happened, in the twenty third year of King Joash, that the priests had
not repaired the breach of the house. 7 And King Joash called to Jehoiada the priest, and the priests, and said to
them, Why have you not repaired the breach of the house? And now, do not receive
any silver from your friends, but give it for the breach of the house. 8 And the priests consented not to receive silver from the people, nor to
strengthen the breach of the house. 9 And Jehoiada the priest took a chest and cut a hole in its lid, and put it
near the altar, on the right side, as one comes into the house of YAHUVEH, and
the priests who kept the door put in it all the silver brought into the house of
YAHUVEH. 10 And it happened, when they saw that the silver in the chest was plentiful,
that a scribe of the king, and the high priest went up, and they bound it up,
and counted the silver found in the house of YAHUVEH. 11 And they weighed silver into the hands of those doing the work, those
overseeing the house of YAHUVEH; and they gave it, weighed it out, to the
craftsmen in wood, and to the builders who were working on the house of YAHUVEH, 12 and to the masons, and the stone cutters, and to buy wood and cut stone to
strengthen the breach of the house of YAHUVEH; and for all that went out on the
house, to make it strong. 13 However, there were not made for the house of YAHUVEH basins of silver,
snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold or vessels of silver, of the
silver brought into the house of YAHUVEH; 14 for they gave it to those doing the work, and they made strong the house of
YAHUVEH with it. 15 And they did not reckon with the men into whose hand they gave the silver, to
give to those doing the work, for they were dealing with faithfulness. 16 And the guilt offering silver and the sin offering silver was not brought
into the house of YAHUVEH, for it was the priests'. 17 Then Hazael the king of Syria went up and fought against Gath, and captured
it; and Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
1 Corinthians 3:11-18
11 For no one is able to lay any other foundation beside the One having been
laid, who is YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH. 12 And if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood,
grass, straw, 13 the work of each will be revealed; for the Day will make it known, because it
is revealed in fire; and the fire will prove the work of each, what sort it is. 14 If the work of anyone which he built survives, he will receive his reward. 15 And the one whose work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he will be
delivered, but so as through fire. 16 Do you not know that you are a sanctuary of YAHUVEH, and the Spirit of YAHWEH
dwells in you4? 17 And whoever defiles the sanctuary of YAHUVEH, YAHUVEH will destroy; for the
sanctuary of YAHUVEH is holy, which you are. 18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks to be wise among you in this
age, let him become foolish, that he may become wise.
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
6 But remember this: the one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the
one sowing generously will also reap generously. 7 Each one as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity, for
YAHUVEH loves a cheerful giver. 8 And Elohim is able to make all grace to abound toward you, that in everything,
always having all self sufficiency, you may abound to every good work; 9 even as it has been written, "He has distributed liberally, He has given to
the poor, His righteousness abides forever." (Psa. 112:9) 10 Now He that supplies seed to the Sower and bread for eating, may He supply
and multiply your seed and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 in everything you being enriched to all sincerity, which works out
thanksgiving to YAHUVEH through us.
