SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:8
Y me harán un santuario, y yo habitaré entre ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 25:8
Verse 8. Let them make me a sanctuary] dqm mikdash, a holy place, such as God might dwell in; this was that part of the tabernacle that was called the most holy place, into which the high priest entered only once a year, on the great day of atonement. That I may dwell among them.] "This," says Mr. Ainsworth, "was the main end of all; and to this all the particulars are to be referred, and by this they are to be opened. For this sanctuary, as Solomon's temple afterwards, was the place of prayer, and of the public service of God, Lev. xvii. 4-6; Matt. xxi. 13; and it signified the Church which is the habitation of God through the Spirit, 2 Cor. vi. 16; Eph. ii. 19-22; Rev. xxi. 2, 3; and was a visible sign of God's presence and protection, Leviticus xxvi. 11, 12; Ezek. xxxvii. 27, 28; 1 Kings vi. 12, 13; and of his leading them to his heavenly glory. For as the high priest entered into the tabernacle, and through the veil into the most holy place where God dwelt; so Christ entered into the holy of holies, and we also enter through the veil, that is to say his flesh. See the use made of this by the apostle, Hebrews 9. and 10. Thus the sanctuary is to be applied as a type, 1. To Christ's person, Heb. viii. 2; ix. 11, 12; John ii. 19-21. 2. To every Christian, 1 Cor. vi. 19. 3. To the Church; both particular, Heb. iii. 6; 1 Tim. iii. 15; and universal, Heb. x. 21: and it was because of the very extensive signification of this building, that the different things concerning this sanctuary are particularly set down by Moses, and so variously applied by the prophets and by the apostles."-See Ainsworth.
As the dwelling in this tabernacle was the highest proof of God's grace and mercy towards the Israelites, so it typified Christ's dwelling by faith in the hearts of believers, and thus giving them the highest and surest proof of their reconciliation to God, and of his love and favour to them; see Eph. i. 22; iii. 17.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - God chose the people of Israel to be a peculiar people to himself above all people, and he himself would be their King. He ordered royal palace to be set up among them for himself, called a sanctuary or holy place, or habitation. There he showed his presence among them And because in the wilderness they dwelt in tents, this royal palac was ordered to be a tabernacle, that it might move with them. The people were to furnish Moses with the materials, by their own fre will. The best use we can make of our worldly wealth, is to honour God with it in works of piety and charity. We should ask, not only, What must we do? but, What may we do for God? Whatever they gave, they mus give it cheerfully, not grudgingly, for God loves a cheerful giver, 2C 9:7. What is laid out in the service of God, we must reckon wel bestowed; and whatsoever is done in God's service, must be done by his direction. (Ex 25:10-22)
