Psalms 78:69 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. He built his sanctuary like high palaces - כמו רמים kemo ramim, which several of the Versions understand of the monoceros or rhinoceros. The temple of God at Jerusalem was the only one in the land, and stood as prominent on Mount Zion as the horn of the unicorn or rhinoceros does upon his snout. And there he established his ark, to go no more out as long as the temple should last. Before this time it was frequently in a migratory state, not only in the wilderness, but afterwards in the promised land. See the notes on Psalms 78:60 (note).
