“I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.”
'But it was Solomon who built a house for him - Solomon (not David) constructs 'a house' (oikon) for God.

The temple is now being introduced as a later development, not the original or definitive locus of divine-human encounter.
