Exodus 29:43 - Exposition

There will I meet the children of Israel . Lay Israelites might not enter the tabernacle, and could only "meet God" at its entrance, when they brought their sacrifices to the altar. He promises, however, to meet them on these occasions with favour and. acceptance . The tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory . Compare Exodus 40:34 . The presence of the Shechinah was the true sanctification of the tabernacle—all the rest was mere type and figure. God not only "put his name there," but put his presence there visibly.
