Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) And have built thee a sanctuary therein.--And built thee therein a sanctuary for thy name. "A sanctuary for thy name" is a single expression. (Comp. 2Chronicles 6:5-8, "that my name might be there.") The name of Jehovah designates all that He is to Israel; His revealed character.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThey have livedוַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ־ (way·yê·šə·ḇū-)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3427: To sit down, to dwell, to remain, to settle, to marryin the landבָ֑הּ (ḇāh)Preposition | third person feminine singularStrong's Hebrew and have builtוַיִּבְנ֨וּ (way·yiḇ·nū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1129: To buildin itבָּ֛הּ (bāh)Preposition | third person feminine singularStrong's Hebrew a sanctuaryמִקְדָּ֖שׁ (miq·dāš)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4720: A consecrated thing, place, a palace, sanctuary, asylumfor Your Name,לְשִׁמְךָ֥ (lə·šim·ḵā)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 8034: A namesaying,לֵאמֹֽר׃ (lê·mōr)Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 559: To utter, sayJump to PreviousBuild Building Built Dwell Dwelt Holy House Living-Place Sanctuary Therein
