and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory; by his Shechinah, or the glory of the divine Majesty, dwelling in it; or it may be supplied, the children of Israel shall be sanctified; set apart and distinguished by his glorious presence among them; the Targum of Jonathan is,"I will be sanctified in or by their princes, because of my glory.''

43. There I will meet — Here is enunciated the main thought that underlies all the symbolism of the tabernacle and its holy services. It was the visible sanctuary, where Jehovah signified the conditions on which it was possible for him to dwell with man, and permit man to dwell with him. The sanctification of Israel was to be secured through these consecrated forms of mediation, and was the highest ideal revealed amid the symbols. For what is it that shall be sanctified by my glory? Not the tabernacle or tent, as both the Authorized Version and the Revised Version supply in the text, nor the altar, as others have supposed; for both these are expressly named in the next verse as a distinct conception; but the children of Israel just mentioned, here conceived as a unit, and hence the use of the verb in the singular number. Israel is to be sanctified by meeting with Jehovah, and thus entering into the divine glory by the means ordained for that very end.

Vers. 43-46. GOD"S PROMISES. The chapter terminates with a parenthetic insertion of various promises, intended to cheer the Israelites under the hard circumstances of their wanderings in the wilderness, and growing out of the mention of the tabernacle as "the tabernacle of meeting" (ver. 42). "There," says God, "He will meet, not only Moses, to speak to him, but also the children of Israel, to receive their offerings, hear their prayers, and grant their requests. There will he meet them, and there his glory shall be; and the tabernacle shall be thereby sanctified. He will sanctify both the tabernacle and the altar; he will sanctify, moreover, both Aaron and his sons; and he will dwell among the children of Israel, and be their God; and they shall know him." Very precious and gracious promises, made absolutely; though, as the result showed, (2Ch_36:14-18) contingent on their obedience; and faithfully performed, as long as even a remnant was obedient, during a space of above seven hundred years from the Exodus to the Captivity!
There will I meet the children of Israel. Lay Israelites might not enter the tabernacle, and could only "meet God" at its entrance, when they brought their sacrifices to the altar. He promises, however, to meet them on these occasions with favour and. acceptance. The tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. Compare Exo_40:34. The presence of the Shechinah was the true sanctification of the tabernacle all the rest was mere type and figure. God not only "put his name there," but put his presence there visibly.

Vers. 43-46. God"s promises to Israel.
Here we may note
I THE DIVINE GOODNESS AS SHOWN IN THE MAKING OF PROMISES, Man has no claim upon his Maker. Our "goodness extendeth not to him." So far forth as we "do him true and laudable service," we are "unprofitable servants we have done that which was our duty to do". (Luk_17:10) But how little of such service is rendered! How great are our shortcomings! How many our "sins, negligences, and ignorances!" How little do we deserve anything but evil at God"s hand! And yet, he not only bears with us, but makes us gracious promises. He binds himself to us beforehand by express engagements he pledges his own sacred word to bestow upon us divers blessings. Here he promised Israel five things
1. The sanctification of the tabernacle by the Shechinah;
2. The sanctification of the altar;
3. Holiness in Aaron and his sons;
4. His own permanent abiding presence with them as their God; and
5. Their own recognition of him as their Lord God
the deliverer who brought them out of Egypt the eternal JehovahEloheyhem. And to Christians he has promised far more pardon, redemption, acceptance, sanctification by the Holy Spirit, eternal life! Utterly unworthy as we are, these promises have been made to us. God"s infinite goodness has caused him to condescend to enter into covenant with his creatures; and the promises which he has made to us, "he for his part will most surely keep and perform.
II THE DIVINE FAITHFULNESS, AS SHOWN IN THE FULFILMENT OF THE PROMISES MADE.
(1) The sanctification of the tabernacle was effected by the entrance into it of the Shechinah; (Exo_40:34)
(2) That of the altar by the fire which "came out from before the Lord"; (Lev_9:24)
(3) Aaron and his sons were sanctified to the effectual performance of all their ministerial acts, and were further personally sanctified, so far as their own wills would permit;
(4) God did abide with his people Israel, notwithstanding all their shortcomings, for at least seven centuries; defended them from their enemies; taught them by his prophets; made them a praise and a wonder among the nations. And, on the whole,
(5) notwithstanding occasional defections, Israel did recognise Jehovah as their God, did maintain his worship, did observe his laws, did believe that he dwelt among them, and was "the Lord their God." Shall we think that to us he will be less faithful? Shall we doubt that he will give to us the covenanted blessings pardon, and redemption, and acceptance, and sanctification, and eternal life? Surely, "God is not a man that he should lie, or the son of man that he should repent." He is "the faithful and the true". (Rev_19:11) He never broke a promise. All to which he is pledged he will most assuredly perform, if we only are not wanting on our part.
