The concept of God dwelling among His people is central to the covenant relationship established at Sinai. This dwelling is not merely a physical presence but a spiritual and relational one, indicating God's commitment to His chosen people. The tabernacle, which was constructed according to God's instructions, served as the physical manifestation of His presence. This idea of God dwelling among His people is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus is referred to as "Emmanuel," meaning "God with us" (<a href="/matthew/1-23.htm">Matthew 1:23</a>). The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers today continues this theme of God's presence among His people.<p><b>and be their God.</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the Israelites. It reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, where He pledged to be their God and the God of their descendants (<a href="/genesis/17-7.htm">Genesis 17:7-8</a>). This relationship is characterized by God's sovereignty, protection, and provision, as well as the Israelites' obligation to worship and obey Him. The declaration "I will be their God" is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament, underscoring the unique relationship between God and Israel. In the New Testament, this relationship is expanded to include all who believe in Christ, as seen in passages like <a href="/2_corinthians/6-16.htm">2 Corinthians 6:16</a>, where believers are described as the temple of the living God, and He promises to be their God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God who desires to dwell among His people, demonstrating His faithfulness and presence.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who are recipients of God's promises and His presence.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The sacred tent where God chose to dwell among the Israelites, symbolizing His presence and holiness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the instructions for the tabernacle and the priestly consecration.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/priestly_consecration.htm">Priestly Consecration</a></b><br>The event described in <a href="/bsb/exodus/29.htm">Exodus 29</a>, where Aaron and his sons are consecrated as priests to serve in the tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_desire_for_relationship.htm">God's Desire for Relationship</a></b><br>God’s intention to dwell among the Israelites highlights His desire for a personal relationship with His people.
