Exodus 25:8

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

Ver. 8. That I may dwell among them.] "But will God in very deed dwell with men upon earth?" 2Ch 6:18 What can he do more to make them happy? As he in Plutarch said of the Scythians, that although they had no music nor vines among them, yet, as a better thing, they had gods: and as the philosopher, having little else in his house, yet could say of it, ενθα δε οι Yεοι εισιν, Here be gods: so may every good man boast of his house and of his heart, This is the habitation of the Most High. Hebrews 3:6 2Co 6:16 As for the public assembly of saints, "This is the house of God, this is the gate of heaven." Gen 28:17
