The Lord’s use of the word here plays off the literal sense that David had in mind as he contemplated building a temple (“house”) for the Lord. In the translation the adjective “dynastic” is supplied to indicate that the term is used metaphorically.

[21:2]  ¹ tn Or “people.”

[21:2]  ² tn Heb “Go, count Israel.” See the note on “had” in v. 1.
