LEB(i)
5 "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says Yahweh: "Are you the one to build for me a house for my dwelling?
6 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought up the ⌊Israelites⌋* from Egypt until this day; rather, I was going about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all of my going about among all the ⌊Israelites⌋,* did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, 'Why did you not build me a cedar house?'" '
