Commentary

 

Tabernacle and tent

  

'God forsook the Tabernacle of Shiloh, and the tent which he placed amongst men,' as in Psalms 78:60, signifies that the goods of love, and truths of doctrine were destroyed. Here, the 'Tabernacle' or 'habitation of Shiloh' signifies the church consisting of people in the good of love to the Lord, and the tent signifies the church consisting of people who are in truths derived from that good.
