Exodus 29
1. The sacrifice and ceremonies of consecrating the priests and the altar
38. The continual burnt offerings
45. God's promise to dwell among the children of Israel














And they will know
This phrase emphasizes the certainty and assurance of God's revelation to His people. The Hebrew word for "know" is "yada," which implies an intimate, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual understanding. This knowledge is relational, indicating that the Israelites will recognize God's presence and authority through His actions and covenant relationship with them.

that I am the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant faithfulness. It is a reminder of His unchanging character and His commitment to His people.

their God
This phrase underscores the personal relationship between God and the Israelites. The possessive "their" indicates a special, chosen relationship, highlighting the covenant established at Sinai. It reflects God's desire to be in a personal and communal relationship with His people, setting them apart from other nations.

who brought them out of the land of Egypt
This statement recalls the historical and miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from slavery, a foundational event in their identity as God's people. The Exodus is a central theme in the Old Testament, symbolizing salvation, liberation, and God's mighty power. It serves as a continual reminder of God's faithfulness and His ability to save.

that I might dwell among them
The Hebrew word for "dwell" is "shakan," which is related to "Shekinah," the divine presence. This phrase reveals God's ultimate purpose for delivering Israel: to be present with them. It foreshadows the tabernacle and later the temple, where God's presence would reside among His people. This dwelling is a precursor to the New Testament revelation of God dwelling among humanity through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I am the LORD their God
This concluding affirmation reiterates God's identity and His covenant relationship with Israel. It serves as both a declaration of His sovereignty and a reminder of His promises. The repetition of "I am" echoes the divine name revealed to Moses, reinforcing God's eternal presence and authority. This statement encapsulates the essence of the covenant: God is with His people, guiding, protecting, and sanctifying them for His purposes.

(46) They shall know . . . --i.e., My after care of them will prove me the same loving and all-powerful God whose help effected their deliverance from the bondage of Egypt.

Verse 46. - And they shall know, etc. When they experience my protection, bounty, love, tenderness, pardon, they shall truly feel and know in their inmost hearts, that I am the same God who delivered them out of the bondage of Egypt, and brought them forth, for the very purpose of "dwelling among them." I am Jehovah, their God. No other God could deliver after this sort. No other God could be so long-suffering to a "stiff-necked people."
