Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 29:45
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 29:45
I will dwell, by my special grace, and favour, and blessing; for by his essence he fills all places.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 29:45
(45) I will dwell among the children of Israel.—It must not be supposed that the fulfilment of this promise was effected by the mere presence of the Shechinah within the Tabernacle. It pledged God to a perpetual supervision, care, and tender protection of His people, such as we find actually exercised in the history of the nation.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 29:45
Verse 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 26:11-12; 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 IN those who believe; and this is the very tenor of the New Covenant which God promised to make with the house of Israel; see Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 37:24-28; Hebrews 8:7-12; and 2 Corinthians 6:16. And because God had promised to dwell in all his genuine followers, hence the frequent reference to this covenant and its privileges in the New Testament. And hence it is so frequently and strongly asserted that every believer is a habitation of God through the Spirit, Ephesians 2:22. That the Spirit of God witnesses with their spirits that they are the children of God, Romans 8:16. That the Spirit of Christ in their hearts enables them to call God their Father, Galatians 4:6. And that if any man have not this Spirit, he is none of his, Romans 8:9, c. And hence St.
Paul states this to be the sum and substance of apostolical preaching, and the riches of the glory of the mystery of the Gospel among the Gentiles, viz., Christ IN you the hope of glory whom, says he, we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect IN Christ Jesus; Colossians 1:27-28.
