⁷ “My father David wanted to build a ·Temple [^Lhouse] for ·the [^Lthe name of the] Lord, the God of Israel. ⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘·It was good that you [You did well to have] wanted to build a ·Temple [^Lhouse] for me. ⁹ But you are not the one to build it. Your son, who ·comes from your own body [will be born to you], is the one who will build ·my Temple [^Lthe house for my name].’
