00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.299
However,<00:01:47.340><c> there</c><00:01:47.500><c> are</c><00:01:47.739><c> only</c><00:01:48.000><c> two</c><00:01:48.239><c> words</c><00:01:48.560><c> here,</c><00:01:48.900><c> not</c><00:01:49.180><c> three.</c>

00:01:50.379 --> 00:01:55.400
The<00:01:50.780><c> word</c><00:01:51.060><c> thee</c><00:01:51.439><c> is</c><00:01:51.659><c> not</c><00:01:51.980><c> there,</c><00:01:53.180><c> and</c><00:01:53.180><c> the</c><00:01:53.319><c> preposition</c><00:01:53.959><c> is</c><00:01:54.359><c> en,</c><00:01:55.079><c> e</c>

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.519
So<00:01:57.640><c> it</c><00:01:57.780><c> is</c><00:01:58.060><c> really,</c><00:01:59.140><c> literally,</c><00:02:00.359><c> for</c><00:02:00.540><c> a</c><00:02:00.840><c> habitation</c><00:02:01.540><c> of</c><00:02:01.780><c> God</c>
