Sanctified. Hebrew, “ark of thy strength,” which title proceeds from the sanctity of God, who resides there, 1 Kings vi. 20. Our heart ought to be his resting place, Isaias lxvi. 2. (Berthier) — Leaving Silo, &c., come into thy temple, with the ark where thou sanctifiest thy people. He contemplates a higher mystery, the coming of the Messias, and his glorious resurrection. (Worthington) — The same words were repeated, when the ark was removed in the desert, and by Solomon, as they might be also by the captives. (Calmet)
