Commentary on Exodus 15:17

Theological / Devotional

In the mountain. “The mountain of thine inheritance” was probably not the hill country of Canaan (Deut. 3:25), as some commentators have maintained, but rather the mountain the Lord had selected for a sanctuary (Ps. 78:54) and chosen as His own dwelling place. The planting of Israel upon this mountain does not signify their entrance into the Promised land, but the planting of the people of God in the house of the Lord (Ps. 92:13), in the future sanctuary. There the Lord would enter into more perfect fellowship with His people, and there they would show themselves to be His special possession by serving Him and offering up their sacrifices.
