But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I, that I should build a house for Him, except to burn incense before Him?

“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!

“But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built.

But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”

Thus says the Lord,
Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.
Where then is a house you could build for Me?
And where is a place that I may rest?

But you shall seek the Lord at the place which the Lord your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come.

then it shall come about that the place in which the Lord your God will choose for His name to dwell, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution of your hand, and all your choice votive offerings which you will vow to the Lord.

but in the place which the Lord chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

Only your holy things which you may have and your votive offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the Lord chooses.

Then David the king went in and sat before the Lord, and he said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

“But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You.

Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?”

However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the prophet says:

to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?

To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,
