Psalms 50:10-12
For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

1 Chronicles 29 14-1 Chronicles 29 16
But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and we have given you of your own.For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.

1 Kings 6 20-1 Kings 6 35
Within the inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he covered the altar with cedar.So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold. He drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. He also overlaid the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary with gold.In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.Five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub. From the tip of one wing to the tip of the other was ten cubits.The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.One cherub was ten cubits high, and so was the other cherub.He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.He overlaid the cherubim with gold.He carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inside and outside.He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inside and outside.For the entrance of the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood. The lintel and door posts were a fifth part of the wall.So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold. He spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.He also did so for the entrance of the temple door posts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;and two doors of cypress wood. The two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.He carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the engraved work.
