8309. 'In Your strength You have brought them to the dwelling-place of Your holiness' means that the Lord's Divine power has raised them to heaven, to the Divine there. This is clear from the meaning of 'leading in strength', when used in reference to being raised into heaven by the Lord, as being raised by Divine power, 'strength' meaning power, as is self-evident; and from the meaning of 'the dwelling-place of holiness' as heaven, where the Divine is. For holiness is an attribute of the Divine Truth that emanates from the Lord, 8302, and this Divine Truth makes heaven.
[2] The truth that Jehovah's or the Lord's 'dwelling-place' is heaven, and also good, because good has heaven within it, is clear from the following places: In Moses,
Look from the dwelling-place of Your holiness, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel. 1
Deuteronomy 26:15
In Isaiah,
Look out from heaven, and see from the dwelling-place of [Your] holiness and of Your glory. Isaiah 63:15.
In David,
Surely I will not give sleep to my eyes, until I find a place for Jehovah, the dwelling-places for the Mighty One of Jacob Behold, we heard of Him in Ephrathah; we found Him in the fields of the wood. We will enter His dwelling-places. Psalms 132:4-7.
[3] The truth that Jehovah's, that is, the Lord's, 'dwelling-place' is within good may be seen in Zechariah,
Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Zion! Behold I am coming in order that I may dwell in Your midst. Many nations will cling to Jehovah on that day and will be My people; for I will dwell in you. Zechariah 2:10-11.
And in Ezekiel,
I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever, so will My dwelling-place be among them. Ezekiel 37:26-27.
'Sanctuary' is where Divine Truth having Divine Good within it resides.
