Temple Building
Isaiah 66:1-2
Thus said the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build to me?…


Hitzig thinks (and with him Knobel, Hendewerk) that the author here begins quite abruptly to oppose the purpose of building a temple to Jehovah; the builders are those who meditated remaining behind in Chaldea, and wished also to have a temple, as the Jews in Egypt, at a later time, built one in Leontopolis.

(F. Delitzsch, D. D.)
