1 Kings 8:27 Douay-Rheims

Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

Will. [This is] an expression of wonder.
Cannot contain You. Cannot contain You.
