Exegesis
The repeated phrases beit elohav {בֵ֣ית אֱלֹהָ֑יו | bêt ʾĕ-lō-hāw} ‘house of his god’ and beit otsar elohav {בֵ֖ית אוֹצַ֥ר אֱלֹהָֽיו | bêt ʾō-ṣar ʾĕ-lō-hāw} ‘treasury of his god’ emphasize the relocation of temple property. The English rendering maintains Hebrew word order while clarifying possession and destination.
In context — Daniel 1:2
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his power, along with some of the vessels from the house of God ; and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and put the vessels into the treasury of his god.
