Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 6 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Samuel. God corrects David’s proposal through Nathan and reminds him that he had never required a permanent house during previous generations. Instead of allowing David to build a house for God, the Lord announces that he will build a house for David, understood primarily as a dynasty. The play on house as building and house as lineage forms the theological center of the promise. God takes the initiative and establishes the future stability of David’s house.

Habe ich doch in keinem Hause gewohnt seit dem Tage, da ich die Kinder Israel aus Ägypten führte, bis auf diesen Tag, sondern ich habe gewandelt in der Hütte und Wohnung.
Ciertamente no he habitado en casas desde el día que saqué a los hijos de Israel de Egipto hasta hoy, sino que anduve en tienda y en tabernáculo.
No he habitado en una casa desde el día en que saqué a los israelitas de Egipto hasta hoy. He andado de un lugar a otro en una tienda y en un tabernáculo.
Mais je n'ai point habité dans une maison depuis le jour où j'ai fait monter les enfants d'Israël hors d'Egypte jusqu'à ce jour; j'ai voyagé sous une tente et dans un tabernacle.
Conciossiachè io non sia abitato in casa, dal dì che io trassi fuori di Egitto i figliuoli d’Israele, infino a questo giorno; anzi son camminato qua e là in un padiglione ed in un tabernacolo.
Porque em casa nenhuma habitei desde o dia em que fiz subir os filhos de Israel do Egito até ao dia de hoje; mas andei em tenda e em tabernáculo.
自從我領 以色列 人從 埃及 上來,直到今日,我未曾住過殿宇,卻在會幕和帳幕中行走。
