He built His sanctuary The phrase "He built His sanctuary" refers to God's establishment of a sacred place for His presence among His people. The Hebrew word for "sanctuary" is "מִקְדָּשׁ" (miqdash), which signifies a holy place set apart for worship. Historically, this refers to the tabernacle and later the temple in Jerusalem, which were central to Israelite worship and symbolized God's dwelling among His people. The construction of the sanctuary was a divine initiative, emphasizing God's desire to be in communion with His people. This act of building signifies not only a physical structure but also the establishment of a spiritual reality where God meets humanity. like the heights of the land He established it forever Parallel Commentaries ...
