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 adoption,
and from whom they might expect all good things, they continuing
in obedience to his commands, by the tenure of which they held
their rights and privileges, civil and ecclesiastical.
