And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
And the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. The word "tabernacle" is a supplement by our translators; so that, as the verb has no proper nominative, we are at liberty to take the statement in the largest sense, as implying not only that the particular spot - "the door" - but everything-people, priest, altar-would be illustriously hallowed by the glory of the divine presence, the visible symbol of which would be seen in the shechinah enthroned in the most holy place. Since the glory of God is in a great measure identified with His tabernacle, in which it dwelt, the sanctifying virtue of the one was that of the other. But what would be sanctified by the glory of the Lord would also be sanctified to His glory.
