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).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לְמַ֨עַן

so_that

The word translated as so that indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: “and as a result”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠לְ⁠בָנֶ֣י⁠ךָ

and,with,children,your

Here, sons means “descendants.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and for your offspring”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַחֲרֶ֔י⁠ךָ

after,you

Here after means “later”. The implication is that the descendants of the Israelites will continue living on the land after the parents die. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “who will live on the land following you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הַ⁠יָּשָׁ֖ר

the,right

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of right, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “justly”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י

in/on=both_eyes_of

Here, in the eyes of is an idiom for a person's opinion or evaluation. Moses speaks as if evaluating something were physically seeing it with one's eyes. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in the evaluation of”
