Bayit signifie maison — une demeure, la famille à l'intérieur et la « maison de Dieu » — le temple. Dieu lui-même promet à David une maison éternelle.

Bayit covers a dwelling, the household it contains, and, for God, the temple. The Hebrew Bible loves the layered idea: David wanted to build a bayit for God; God answered that he would build a bayit for David — a dynasty that would last forever.

Christians read this promise as fulfilled in Jesus, the Son of David whose house — the church — God himself builds. Psalm 23 closes the same way: “I shall dwell in the house (bayit) of the LORD forever.”
