Exegesis
The negated imperfect lōʾ-tivneh {לֹא־תִבְנֶה | lōʾ-tivneh} functions as a decisive divine refusal, with bayit {בַיִת | bayit} ‘house’ as the object and lišmî {לִשְׁמִי | lišmî} ‘for My name’ indicating dedication and representation.
In context — 1 Chronicles 22:8
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “You have shed blood in abundance, and you have done great wars. You shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth before Me.”
