Von dem Tage, da ich herausgeführt mein Volk Israel aus Ägypten, hab’ ich keine Stadt erwählt aus allen Stämmen Israels, dass man dort ein Haus baue, dass mein Name darin sei; aber ich erwählte David, dass er herrsche über mein Volk Israel.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“From the day” [8:16]. God said: from the day that I took Israel from Egypt, I have not chosen a city from all the tribes of Israel to build My house that My name should be on it. However, I have chosen David to be a king over Israel.
