2 Chronicles 7:16

7:16 Now I have chosen and consecrated this temple by making it my permanent home; I will be constantly present there.

tn Heb “I have heard.”

tn Heb “temple of sacrifice.” This means the Lord designated the temple as the place for making sacrifices, and this has been clarified in the translation.

tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”

tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”
