DEUTERONOMY—NOTE ON Deuteronomy 12:5 Moses looked to the day when the Lord would put his name and make his habitation in a permanent place, though God is not limited to just one place. It is a single place, in contrast to the “places” in vv. Deuteronomy 12:2, Deuteronomy 12:13. This place is not named here, though centuries later it was clearly identified with Jerusalem. Until then, the “place” was wherever the tabernacle was located. This was often at Shiloh (Joshua 18:1).
