There I will meet with the Israelites, and it will be sanctified by My glory
There
The word "there" refers to a specific location, the Tent of Meeting, where God promises to manifest His presence. In the Hebrew context, this signifies a designated holy space, set apart for divine encounters. The Tent of Meeting was central to Israelite worship and symbolized God's willingness to dwell among His people. This highlights the importance of sacred spaces in worship and the intentionality of God in choosing where to reveal Himself.

I will meet
The phrase "I will meet" comes from the Hebrew root "ya'ad," which implies an appointed meeting or a divine encounter. This is not a casual meeting but a purposeful, preordained interaction between God and His people. It underscores the relational aspect of God, who desires to engage with His creation. This meeting is a profound reminder of God's accessibility and His desire for communion with humanity.

with the Israelites
"With the Israelites" emphasizes the communal aspect of God's relationship with His chosen people. The Israelites, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were set apart as a nation to reflect God's glory to the world. This phrase reinforces the covenant relationship between God and Israel, highlighting their unique role in His redemptive plan. It also serves as a reminder of the collective identity and responsibility of God's people.

and it will be sanctified
The term "sanctified" is derived from the Hebrew word "qadash," meaning to be set apart as holy. This indicates that the Tent of Meeting, and by extension, the Israelites, are consecrated through God's presence. Sanctification is a recurring theme in Scripture, pointing to the transformative power of God's holiness. It is a call for believers to live lives that reflect God's purity and purpose.

by My glory
"By My glory" refers to the manifest presence of God, often associated with His divine attributes and power. The Hebrew word for glory, "kavod," conveys a sense of weightiness and honor. God's glory is both awe-inspiring and sanctifying, serving as a testament to His majesty and holiness. This phrase assures the Israelites that God's presence is the source of their sanctification and the ultimate validation of their worship practices. It is a powerful reminder of the transformative impact of encountering God's glory.

(43) The tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.--See Exodus 40:34-35; and comp. Leviticus 9:24; 1Kings 8:10-11; 2Chronicles 5:13-14; 2Chronicles 7:2.

Verses 43-46. - GOD'S PROMISES. The chapter terminates with a parenthetic insertion of various promises, intended to cheer the Israelites under the hard circumstances of their wanderings in the wilderness, and growing out of the mention of the tabernacle as "the tabernacle of meeting" (ver. 42). "There," says God, "He will meet, not only Moses, to speak to him, but also the children of Israel, to receive their offerings, hear their prayers, and grant their requests. There will he meet them, and there his glory shall be; and the tabernacle shall be thereby sanctified. He will sanctify both the tabernacle and the altar; he will sanctify, moreover, both Aaron and his sons; and he will dwell among the children of Israel, and be their God; and they shall know him." Very precious and gracious promises, made absolutely; though, as the result showed (2 Chronicles 36:14-18), contingent on their obedience; and faithfully performed, as long as even a remnant was obedient, during a space of above seven hundred years from the Exodus to the Captivity! Verse 43. - There will I meet the children of Israel. Lay Israelites might not enter the tabernacle, and could only "meet God" at its entrance, when they brought their sacrifices to the altar. He promises, however, to meet them on these occasions with favour and. acceptance. The tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. Compare Exodus 40:34. The presence of the Shechinah was the true sanctification of the tabernacle - all the rest was mere type and figure. God not only "put his name there," but put his presence there visibly.
