Psalm 48:12 Douay-Rheims

And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

In their heart, their houses are forever Their thoughts are to build for themselves houses that will exist forever. they call by their names their houses that they build so that they will have a memorial. (Gen. 4:17): “and named the city after his son Enoch.” Antiochus built Antioch; Seleucus built Seleucia.
