1 Chronicles 26:20
The Treasurers of the TempleThis section explains the different kinds of treasures kept in the house of God and the people responsible for them. The temple needed many supplies for daily worship, such as flour, oil, wine, salt, and fuel, as well as special clothing and tools. These were called the treasures of the house of God. There were also treasures made up of things dedicated to God, often from the spoils of war, as a way to thank Him for victory and protection. Faithful people were chosen to guard and manage these treasures, making sure nothing was wasted or stolen. This careful management reminds us that God’s house is a place of abundance and blessing, and that we should honor Him with what we have.v. 20: The temple had special stores called treasures of the house of God. These included all the supplies needed for worship, like food, oil, and clothing. Money from the people’s offerings was used to buy what was needed, and sometimes extra was saved for emergencies. These treasures remind us of the riches and wisdom found in Christ, the true temple, where there are treasures of wisdom and knowledge(Colossians 2:3 a).
