Exegesis
The perfect verb bānāh {בָּנָ֤ה | bānāh} contrasts with the non-occurrence of ḥănākô {חֲנָכ֔וֹ | ḥănākô} to define the situation.
In context — Deuteronomy 20:5
The officers shall speak to the people, saying, “Is there a man who built a new house but has not dedicated it? Let him go back to his house, so that he does not die in the battle and another man dedicate it.”
