Commentaire sur L’Exode 29:45

ושכנתי בתוך בני ישראל. There to receive their service with goodwill and in order to listen to their prayers.

V.45. Und diese Anwesenheit der Gottesherrlichkeit im Tempel ist selbst nur Dokumentierung seiner Gegenwart in der Nation, welcher Er Gott, d. h. Bestimmer ihres Geschickes und Leiter ihrer Handlungen, sein will.

ושכנתי בתוך בני ישראל, “I shall dwell among the Children of Israel.” The reference is to the time when the flags would be erected, they being equivalent to a dividing fence between the camps of the Levites as such, and the ones performing duties in the compound of the Tabernacle.

והייתי להם לאלוקים, and I will supervise their affairs without resorting to an intermediary. They will have no reason to be afraid of what astrology portends, seeing that they (the Jewish people) are far more honoured by Me than are the celestial planets, etc. The very fact that I guide others’ fate only by means of agents, intermediaries, testifies to the eternal existence of the Jewish people.
