13 Heb “and build the house” (so , ), with “house” referring specifically to the temple here.
14 The temple was built primarily of stone, so the timber here refers to interior paneling (see v. 4) and perhaps to scaffolding (see Ezra 5:8; 6:4).
15 The Hebrew verb אֶכָּבְדָ (’ekkavda) appears to be a defectively written cohortative (“that I may be glorified”). The cohortatives (note that the preceding אֶרְצֶה, ’ertseh, “I will be pleased,” may also be taken as cohortative) indicate purpose/result (cf. , “so that”; “so”) following the imperatives of v. 8a (“go up,” “bring back,” “build”).
