I have hallowed this house; I have, by my glorious presence in the cloud, and by my acceptation of thy sacrifices, sanctified it to my proper use and service. For ever; as long as the Mosaical dispensation lasts; whereas hitherto my name and worship hath been successively in several places. Mine eyes, i.e. my watchful and gracious providence. Mine heart; my true and tender affection. Shall be there; shall be towards this place and people, Perpetually; upon condition of your obedience, as it here follows.
