Since the dayh3117 that I brought forthh3318h8689 my peopleh5971 out of the landh776 of Egypth4714 I choseh977h8804 no cityh5892 among all the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478 to buildh1129h8800 an househ1004 in, that my nameh8034 might be there; neither choseh977h8804 I any manh376 to be a rulerh5057 over my peopleh5971 Israelh3478:
