"And God Has No House"

Hagai 1:

 ... הָעָם הַזֶּה אָמְרוּ, לֹא עֶת-בֹּא עֶת-בֵּית יְ-וָה לְהִבָּנוֹת.
... כֹּה אָמַר, יְ-וָה צְבָאוֹת:  שִׂימוּ לְבַבְכֶם, עַל-דַּרְכֵיכֶם.
 עֲלוּ הָהָר וַהֲבֵאתֶם עֵץ, וּבְנוּ הַבָּיִת; וְאֶרְצֶה-בּוֹ ואכבד (וְאֶכָּבְדָה), אָמַר יְ-וָה.
This people say: The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.'...Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. Go up to the hill-country, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
