Exodus 15:17 - Exposition

Thou shalt bring them in— i.e; give them possession of the laud. And plant them — i.e; fix them firmly in it—enable them to take root there. The mountain of thine inheritance . The land of Canaan, which is almost wholly mountainous, and which God had given as an inheritance to his people ( Genesis 15:7 ; Hebrews 11:8 ). The sanctuary . See the comment on Exodus 15:13 . Which thy hands have established . Moses sees in idea the sanctuary already set up, and God dwelling in it; and emphasises his conviction by using the past tense.
