Footnotes

  1. 15 The verb is a perfect with vav (ו) consecutive; it follows in the sequence initiated by the imperative in v. 2 and continues with the force of a command.
  2. 16 The word here is מִקְדּשׁ (miqdash), “a sanctuary” or “holy place”; cf. “sacred residence.” The purpose of building it is to enable Yahweh to reside (וְשָׁכַנְתִּי, véshakhanti) in their midst. U. Cassuto reminds the reader that God did not need a place to dwell, but the Israelites needed a dwelling place for him, so that they would look to it and be reminded that he was in their midst (Exodus, ).
