Matthew 23:21 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Him that dwelleth therein - That is, God. The temple was his house, his dwelling. In the first, or Solomon’s temple, he dwelt between the cherubims in the most holy place. He manifested himself there by a visible symbol, in the form of a cloud resting on the mercy-seat, 1 Kings 8:10, 1 Kings 8:13; Psalms 80:1.

Matthew 23:21

21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.#rl
