Exodus 29:45-46

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

And I will dwell among the children of Israel ,.... In the tabernacle ordered to be built for him, and which, when built, was placed in the midst of the camp of Israel; and here Jehovah dwelt as a king in his palace, near at hand to help, protect, and defend his subjects, and supply them with all things needful for them; see Deuteronomy 4:7 . and will be their God ; their covenant God, their King and their God, their government being a Theocracy; their God and Father, by national... 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's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 29:45

I will dwell among the children of Israel - This is the great charter of the people of God, both under the Old and New Testaments; see Exodus 25:8 ; Leviticus 26:11 , Leviticus 26:12 ; 2 Corinthians 6:16 ; Revelation 21:3 . God dwells Among them: he is ever to be found in his Church to enlighten, quicken, comfort, and support it; to dispense the light of life by the preaching of his word, and the influences of his Spirit for the conviction and conversion of sinners. And he dwells... read more

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

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 29:45

I will dwell among the children of Israel . Compare Exodus 25:8 . Primarily, the indwelling of the Shechinah in the holy of holies is, no doubt, meant; but the expression need not be limited to this. God would be present with his people in manifold ways—to direct, sustain, enlighten, defend, and save them. And will be their God . Compare Exodus 6:7 . What treasures of love, protection, bounty, tenderness, and pardon, are there in this phrase! read more
