7:27 for you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have told 1 your servant, ‘I will build you a dynastic house.’ 2 That is why your servant has had the courage 3 to pray this prayer to you.
1 tnHeb “have uncovered the ear of.”
2 tnHeb “a house.” This maintains the wordplay from v. 11 (see the note on the word “house” there) and is continued in v. 29.
