5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt (Out of Egypt) until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.

6 In all My journeys with all the Israelites (God prevails), have I ever asked any of the leaders (judges) I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you⁺ built Me a house of cedar?’
