1 Chronicles 22:1Then David said, "This is the house of Yahweh God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."
The setting
Jerusalem, ~1000 BC. The angel's sword is sheathed. The plague has stopped at this exact threshing floor. David suddenly realizes this tragedy has revealed God's chosen spot...
The emotion here: sudden revelation dawning after terror, breathless recognition
The original word
bayith (בַּיִת) — not just building but dwelling place, God's house among His people
Why it matters
This is the same Mount Moriah where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac 1,000 years earlier
