Exodus 29:46 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

In this paragraph we have, I. The daily service appointed. A lamb was to be offered upon the altar every morning, and a lamb every evening, each with a meat-offering, both made by fire, as a continual burnt-offering throughout their generations, Exod. 29:38-41. Whether there were any other sacrifices to be offered or not, these were sure to be offered, at the public charge, for the benefit and comfort of all Israel, to make atonement for their daily sins, and to be an acknowledgement to God of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:46

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God ,.... By his presence with them, by the blessings bestowed upon them, by his care of them, and kindness to them: that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell amongst them ; not only did he bring them from thence, that they might dwell in the land of Canaan, but that he might dwell among them, which was by far the greatest mercy; and not only that they might be delivered from the bondage and affliction with which they... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:46

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God - That is, They shall acknowledge God, and their infinite obligations to him. In a multitude of places in Scripture the word know should be thus understood. That I may dwell among them - For without this acknowledgment and consequent dependence on and gratitude and obedience to God, they could not expect him to dwell among them. By dwelling among the people God shows that he would be a continual resident in their houses and in their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:46

Verse 46 46.And they shall know that I am the Lord. In these words God signifies that He has not only been the deliverer of His people on one occasion, but with the object of presiding over their welfare, and of demonstrating practically that He dwells among them. He, moreover, appointed the sanctuary to be the symbol of His presence, and, as it were, its pledge; from whence He would have the rule of piety proceed, and be sought for by His worshippers. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 29:43-46

GOD 'S PROMISES . The chapter terminates with a parenthetic insertion of various promises, intended to cheer the Israelites under the hard circumstances of their wanderings in the wilderness, and growing out of the mention of the tabernacle as "the tabernacle of meeting" ( Exodus 29:42 ). "There," says God, "He will meet, not only Moses, to speak to him, but also the children of Israel, to receive their offerings, hear their prayers, and grant their requests. There will he meet them,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 29:43-46

God's promises to Israel. Here we may note— I. THE DIVINE GOODNESS AS SHOWN IN THE MAKING OF PROMISES , Man has no claim upon his Maker. Our "goodness extendeth not to him." So far forth as we "do him true and laudable service," we are "unprofitable servants—we have done that which was our duty to do" ( Luke 17:10 ). But how little of such service is rendered! How great are our shortcomings! How many our "sins, negligences, and ignorances!" How little do we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 29:46

And they shall know , etc. When they experience my protection, bounty, love, tenderness, pardon, they shall truly feel and know in their inmost hearts, that I am the same God who delivered them out of the bondage of Egypt, and brought them forth, for the very purpose of "dwelling among them." I am Jehovah, their God . No other God could deliver after this sort. No other God could be so long-suffering to a "stiff-necked people." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 29:38-46

Exodus 29:38The continual burnt-offering - The primary purpose of the national altar is here set forth. The victim slain every morning and every evening was an acknowledgment that the life of the people belonged to Yahweh; the offering of meal was an acknowledgment that all their works rightly done were His due (see Leviticus 2:0); while the incense symbolized their daily prayers.Exodus 29:39At even - See Exodus 12:6.Exodus 29:40A tenth deal - i. e. the tenth part of an Ephah; it is sometimes... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 29:38-46

The daily offerings (29:38-46)As an expression of Israel’s constant devotion to God, an offering of consecration was kept burning on the altar continually. The priests renewed the offering morning and evening, arranging the parts of the sacrificial animal on the altar in such a way as to ensure that the fire never went out (38-42; see Leviticus 6:8-13). God reminded Moses that his purpose in giving Israel the tabernacle and the priesthood was that he might dwell among his people and that they... read more
