“Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.”
'David found favor with God and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob' - David's desire to build a 'dwelling place' (skēnōma, tent or dwelling) for God is recorded in 2 Samuel 7:2. David's motivation is devotion, yet the plan will be deferred. The 'God of Jacob' (theoi Iakōb) anchors the desire in patriarchal continuity.
