And I will walk among you, etc.] As they journeyed from place to place, he walked among them, in the tabernacle built for him, (see <100706>2 Samuel 7:6); it may be expressive of the familiarity and communion which the Lord grants to his people, in and through Christ: and will be your God; to provide for them, and supply them with all the blessings of his goodness, both in providence and grace; and to protect and defend them against all their enemies, temporal and spiritual: and ye shall be my people; appear to be a special and peculiar people of his, chosen, redeemed, and sanctified by him, and to whom he bore a special love, and took special care of; (see <470616>2 Corinthians 6:16); the Targum of Jonathan of the whole is, “I will make the glory of my Shechinah dwell among you, and my Word shall be unto you for God the Redeemer, and ye shall be to my name for a people of Holy Ones.”
