Derech Emet:
Yalkut Meam Loez commentary on Kohelet [Ecclesiastes], chapter 2, verse 4:
If the Beth HaMikdash [Jewish Temple in Jerusalem] had been built on stolen land, then G-d would NOT have settled His Presence there [because the Biblical Book of Isaiah,
chapter 61, verse 8, teaches that G-d hates sacrificial offerings tainted by theft].
CHRONOLOGY:
The Yalkut Meam Loez commentary on Kohelet was written by Rabbi Shmuel Yerushalmi, following the death of Rabbi Yaakov Culi in 1732 CE in Constantinople.
