Leviticus 26:11

11 ponam tabernaculum meum in medio vestri et non abiciet vos anima mea

Leviticus 26:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:11

And I will set my tabernacle amongst you
Which God had directed them to make, and they had made, and also erected; but here he promises to fix and establish it among them, that so it might continue as a place for the public worship of him, and where he would take up his residence, and grant them his presence; so the Targum of Jonathan,

``I will put the Shechinah of my glory among you:''

and my soul shall not abhor you;
though in themselves, and because of their sins, loathsome and abominable; the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan are,

``my Word shall not abhor you;''

and the whole may have respect to Christ, the Word made flesh, and tabernacling among them; the tabernacle being a type and emblem of the human nature of Christ, in which the fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily, and is the true tabernacle which God pitched and not man, ( John 1:14 ) ( Colossians 1:9 ) ( Hebrews 8:2 ) .
