Leviticus 26:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 26:12

And I will walk among you
As they journeyed from place to place, he walked among them, in the tabernacle built for him, see ( 2 Samuel 7:6 ) ; it may be expressive of the familiarity and communion which the Lord grants to his people, in and through Christ: and will be your God;

``I will make the glory of my Shechinah dwell among you, and my Word shall be unto you for God the Redeemer, and ye shall be to my name for a people of Holy Ones.''
