11 Het zal zijn voor de priesteren, die geheiligd zijn uit de kinderen van Zadok, die Mijn wacht hebben waargenomen; die niet gedwaald hebben, als de kinderen Israels dwaalden; gelijk als de andere Levieten gedwaald hebben.

Commentary

 

Sanctuary

  

'Sanctuary' signifies the truth of heaven and the church. 'Sanctuary,' as in Ezekiel 24:21, signifies the Word.

8050. 'For by strength of hand Jehovah brought you out from there' means that they were delivered by the Lord's Divine power. This is clear from the meaning of 'strength of hand' as power or, when used in reference to Jehovah, as almighty power (the fact that 'strength' means power is self-evident; and the fact that 'hand' likewise means power, see 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673); and from the meaning of 'bringing out' as delivering. That 'Jehovah' is the Lord, see above in 8046.
