In the Old Testament, the sanctuary often refers to the tabernacle or temple, where God's presence dwelt among His people. This setting underscores the authority and sacredness of the proclamation. The sanctuary represents God's holiness and His covenant relationship with Israel, reminding the reader of the divine authority behind the words spoken.<p><b>I will triumph!</b><br>This declaration of victory reflects God's sovereignty and assurance of success over His enemies. It is a statement of divine power and control over the nations. The triumph is not just a military victory but also a spiritual one, signifying God's ultimate plan and purpose being fulfilled. This echoes other biblical passages where God promises victory to His people, such as in <a href="/exodus/15.htm">Exodus 15:1</a>, where Moses and the Israelites sing of God's triumph over Pharaoh's army.<p><b>I will parcel out Shechem:</b><br>Shechem is a significant city in biblical history, located in the hill country of Ephraim. It was a central location for the patriarchs, including Abraham and Jacob, and later became a city of refuge. The mention of Shechem here symbolizes God's control over the land and His intention to distribute it according to His will. This act of parcelling out land is reminiscent of the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel, as seen in the book of Joshua.<p><b>and apportion the Valley of Succoth:</b><br>The Valley of Succoth is located east of the Jordan River, near the Jabbok River. It was an area where Jacob settled temporarily after reconciling with Esau. The mention of Succoth alongside Shechem indicates God's dominion over both sides of the Jordan, encompassing the entire land promised to Israel. This apportioning signifies God's promise to give His people the land and His ability to fulfill His covenant promises. The reference to these specific locations highlights the historical and geographical reality of God's promises to Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, speaking from His sanctuary, indicating divine authority and sovereignty.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/sanctuary.htm">Sanctuary</a></b><br>Represents the holy place where God dwells and speaks from, symbolizing His presence and holiness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/shechem.htm">Shechem</a></b><br>An ancient city in the land of Canaan, significant in Israel's history as a place of covenant and inheritance.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/v/valley_of_succoth.htm">Valley of Succoth</a></b><br>A location east of the Jordan River, associated with Israel's journey and settlement in the Promised Land.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/triumph.htm">Triumph</a></b><br>The declaration of victory and divine intervention, emphasizing God's power and control over nations and lands.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_sovereignty.htm">Divine Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognize that God is in control of all nations and events.
