Exegesis
Finally, the infinitive livnot {לִבְנ֖וֹת | liḇnōṯ} ‘to build’ governs the construct beit haelohim {בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים | bēṯ hā’elōhīm} ‘house of God’, framing the verse’s goal. The English rendition uses purpose clauses and coordinating structures to mirror Hebrew syntax while ensuring clarity.
