'Build' in the Bible
Then when the Lord your God brings you to the land he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you -- a land with large, fine cities you did not build,
When you eat your fill, when you build and occupy good houses,
You must not plant any kind of tree as a sacred Asherah pole near the altar of the Lord your God which you build for yourself.
You shall build a roadway and divide into thirds the whole extent of your land that the Lord your God is providing as your inheritance; anyone who kills another person should flee to the closest of these cities.
However, you may chop down any tree you know is not suitable for food, and you may use it to build siege works against the city that is making war with you until that city falls.
If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail around your roof to avoid being culpable in the event someone should fall from it.
Then you must build an altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones -- do not use an iron tool on them.
You must build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.
