Was reading this passage today and it struck me that it is a type and shadow of Jesus: View quoted note → Israel's purpose was to bring about the Messiah, and in that they succeeded: View quoted note → The word translated "dwelt" there, referring to Jesus, literally means in Greek "tabernacled" or "lived in a tent".
