TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Central Sanctuary

God wanted worship to be carried out in the place where he had established his name. For Israel, this place was the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem.

God is transcendent (above all things) and omnipresent (present everywhere), yet he chose a specific place for Israel to worship him. Solomon later asked how the God of heaven could be housed in a human structure (1 Kgs 8:27). The answer is that God’s name stands in his place. The Tabernacle and then the Temple belonged to him and bore his name, so they were, in a sense, his dwelling places. In the ancient Near East, names were more than labels. They represented the character and nature of the named individuals (e.g., Jacob, Gen 27:36; Jesus, Matt 1:21; Barnabas, Acts 4:36; Peter, Matt 16:17-19). Thus Solomon could advise, “Choose a good reputation [name] over great riches” (Prov 22:1).

God made his home in a sanctuary that bore his name. His glorious presence manifested in fire and cloud during the wilderness wanderings served as a constant reminder that he was at home among his people (Exod 40:34-35); likewise, upon the completion of the Temple, his presence was evidenced (1 Kgs 8:10-11).

God would later come to dwell among his people in the person of Jesus Christ (John 1:14), thereby eliminating the need for a central sanctuary (see John 4:19-24). And now, because of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, all believers are able to house God’s presence (1 Cor 3:16-17; 6:19-20; 2 Cor 6:16; Eph 2:21).

Here, face represents the presence of Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [before]

Here, gates represents the border of a town or city. Anyone who was inside the gates was part of the community. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. See how you translated the phrase “within your gates” in [5:14](../05/14.md). Alternate translation: [are within your community]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

that/for/because/then/when not to=him/it portion and,inheritance with,you_all

As explained in [Numbers 18:21-25](Num/18/21.md), the Levites received tithes from the rest of the Israelites. Since the tithe is their inheritance, Yahweh did not allot any land to them. You could include this information if it would be helpful for your readers. Alternate translation: [because Yahweh gave the tithe to them and they have no portion or allotment of land]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

ל֛⁠וֹ

to=him/it

The word he represents any Levite in general, not one particular Levite. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [a Levite]
