Exegesis
The coordinating uveit {וּבֵית | ū-bēyt} parallels lemalkuto {לְמַלְכוּתוֹ | lə-malkû-tō} “for his kingdom,” marking a royal residence. The English translation renders the Hebrew VSO as SVO while preserving the infinitive purpose clauses and the construct chains, highlighting the dual focus on temple and palace construction.
