Psalms 78:69

Compare all

67 Moreover He rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68 But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion ^awhich He loved.

69 And He built His ^asanctuary like the heights,
Like the earth which He has established forever.

70 ^aHe also chose David His servant,
And took him from the sheepfolds;

71 From following ^athe ewes that had young He brought him,
^bTo shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.

Psalms 78:69

He built his sanctuary like high palaces - kemo ramim , which several of the Versions understand of the monoceros or rhinoceros. The temple of God at Jerusalem was the only one in the land, and stood as prominent on Mount Zion as the horn of the unicorn or rhinoceros does upon his snout. And there he established his ark, to go no more out as long as the temple should last. Before this time it was frequently in a migratory state, not only in the wilderness, but afterwards in the promised land. See the notes on Psalms 78:60 (note).
