Commentary for Exodus 15:17

תְּבִאֵ֗מוֹ וְתִטָּעֵ֙מוֹ֙ בְּהַ֣ר נַחֲלָֽתְךָ֔ מָכ֧וֹן לְשִׁבְתְּךָ֛ פָּעַ֖לְתָּ יְהוָ֑ה מִקְּדָ֕שׁ אֲדֹנָ֖י כּוֹנְנ֥וּ יָדֶֽיךָ׃

Thou bringest them in, and plantest them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, The place, O LORD, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, The sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established.

Rashi on Exodus

תבאמו THOU WILL BRING THEM IN — Moses foresaw by prophetic inspiration that he would not enter the Holy Land: on this account it is not stated here, “Thou wilt bring us in” (Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael 15:17:1).

Kli Yakar on Exodus

[Which] Your hands established. Every aspect of the Tabernacle was made in according with Hashem’s instructions, as the verse states, “You shall erect the mishkon according to its rules as shown to you on the mountain” (26:30). Therefore it is as if Hashem’s own hands established it. Rashi cites the verse, “My hand also founded the earth and My right hand spanned the heavens” (Yeshayahu 38:14), indicating that heaven and earth were each created with a single hand. He contrasts this with this verse in which it is implied that the Mishkon was fashioned with two hands. The idea is that the hosts of heaven were created with Hashem’s right hand while those of earth were created with His left. But because the Mishkon—the Shechinah’s dwelling place on earth—serves as the intermediary between the two, it was created with both hands. Similarly, Adam was created out of earth from the site of the future Beis Hamikdosh because he, too, serves as an intermediary between the hosts of heaven and those of earth.
