**Then Solomon**
The consecration of the temple illustrates all consecration. The temple, like the believer [1 Thessalonians 5:23](../../../kjv/1-thessalonians/5/23) was threefold: the court, that which was outward, visible, answered to the body; the holy place, where everything appealed to the sacred emotions, answered to the soul; the holy of holies, the place of communion with God [Exodus 25:22](../../../kjv/exodus/25/22) answered to the spirit of man. The ark was the most all- inclusive type of Christ of any one of the vessels of the tabernacle. *(See Scofield "*[Exodus 25:22](../../../kjv/exodus/25/22)*")* . When, therefore, the priests brought the ark into the court, the holy place, and the holy of holies, they were, in type, enthroning Christ over the body, with its powers and appetites; the soul, seat of the emotions and desires; and the mind, seat of the capacity to know and commune with God. See Scofield "[Exodus 25:22](../../../kjv/exodus/25/22)" note 3. In Christian experience this answers to ; [Romans 12:1-3](../../../kjv/romans/12/1-3); [Ephesians 5:18](../../../kjv/ephesians/5/18).

**Ethanim**
Seventh month i.e. October.

[1 Kings 8:10](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/10); [1 Kings 8:11](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/11). *(See Scofield "*[1 Kings 8:11](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/11)*")*

*(See Scofield "**")* .

The word implies whole-heartedness for God, single-mindedness, sincerity -- not sinless perfection.
