Qui, en vérité, aurait assez de puissance pour lui ériger une maison, à Lui que le ciel et tous les cieux ne sauraient contenir? Et qui suis-je, moi, pour lui élever une maison, si ce n’est en vue de faire fumer de l’encens devant lui?
Rashi
and the work is great And if you say that the work should be lessened, that is impossible... for the palace is not for man but for the Lord God Who is great and awesome, Whom the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain, but nevertheless, do not fear to build a great house like this, because “with all my strength I prepared for the House of God (sic), the gold for the gold and the silver for the silver, etc.” Therefore, you do not have so much toil.
Rashi
for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the Sanctuary not to build it for Him to dwell therein, for the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain Him, but for the Sanctuary, for the requirement of the Ark, which is called מִקְדָּשׁ, as it is written (Num. 10:21): “And the Kehathites, the bearers of the מִקְדָּשׁ traveled,” and that is the Ark. He did not choose you because you are more praiseworthy than other men, but for His sake and for the sake of His mercies; therefore be strong and do it.
