You will know
The Hebrew word used here is "יָדַע" (yada), which implies a deep, intimate knowledge or understanding. In the context of this verse, it suggests a profound assurance and confidence that comes from a relationship with God. This knowledge is not merely intellectual but experiential, reflecting a trust in God's providence and protection.

that your tent is secure
The "tent" symbolizes one's dwelling place or household. In ancient times, a tent was a common dwelling, representing the entirety of one's domestic life. The Hebrew word "אָהֶל" (ohel) for tent conveys a sense of temporariness and pilgrimage, reminding believers that earthly life is transient. The word "secure" comes from the Hebrew "שָׁלוֹם" (shalom), which means peace, completeness, or safety. This phrase assures the believer of God's protection over their home, providing peace and stability amidst life's uncertainties.

and find nothing amiss
The phrase "find nothing amiss" suggests a thorough examination or inspection, derived from the Hebrew "פָּקַד" (paqad), meaning to visit, attend to, or oversee. This implies a diligent and careful assessment of one's life and circumstances. The promise here is that upon such examination, there will be no cause for concern or distress, highlighting God's provision and care.

when inspecting your home
The word "inspecting" is rooted in the Hebrew "בָּקַר" (baqar), which means to seek, inquire, or investigate. This indicates a proactive approach to managing one's household, ensuring everything is in order. The "home" or "נָוֶה" (naveh) in Hebrew, refers to a place of habitation or pasture, symbolizing not just physical structures but the well-being of one's family and possessions. This phrase reassures believers that their diligent stewardship, under God's guidance, will result in harmony and prosperity.

(24) Sin.--The word rendered "sin" literally means also to miss the mark, as in Judges 20:16, and that is probably its meaning here: Thou shalt visit thy dwelling-place, and miss nothing, since one does not see very clearly why the promise of not sinning is connected with visiting the habitation or fold.

Verse 24. - And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; rather, thy tent; i.e. thy habitation, whatever it may be. Thou shalt feel assured of peace in thy dwelling, since God's peace will rest upon it. And thou shalt visit thy habitation; or, thy fold (see the Revised Version). And shalt not sin; and shalt miss nothing (Revised Version). The exact meaning is very uncertain. Professor Lee renders, "Thou shalt not err;" Schultens, "Thou shalt not be disappointed of thy desires;" Rosenmuller, "Thou shalt not miss thy mark."
