καὶ ἤρξατο Σαλωμων τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν ὄρει τοῦ Αμορια οὗ ὤφθη κύριος τῷ Δαυιδ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἡτοίμασεν Δαυιδ ἐν ἅλῳ Ορνα τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου
And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
The opening locates the temple by revelation, by Davidic preparation, and by remembered topography. The sanctuary stands at a place already interpreted by divine appearance and penitential history.
