5 “Go and tell My servant David (beloved) that this is what the LORD {YHWH} says: Are you the one to build for Me a house to dwell in? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up (he wrestles with God) out of Egypt (land of bondage) until this day, but I have moved about with a tent as My dwelling. 7 In all My journeys with all the Israelites (God prevails), have I ever asked any of the leaders (tribes) I appointed to shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why haven’t you⁺ built Me a house of cedar?’ 2 Samuel 7:5-7, Berean Annotated Bible.
