The Sanctified Tabernacle


Ἠγίασε τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ ὁ Ὕψιστος.

Τάχα τὴν σάρκα λέγει τὴν θεοφόρον, ἁγιασθείσαν διὰ τῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν συναφείας. Ὥστε νοήσεις σκήνωμα τοῦ Ὑψίστου τὴν διὰ σαρκὸς ἐπιφάνειαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.


Ἅγιος Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας, Ὁμιλία Ἐις Τους Ψαλμούς, Εἰς Τον ΜΕ'' Ψαλμον

The Most High has sanctified His tabernacle. 1

Perhaps here he speaks of the God bearing flesh, which is sanctified by its joining with God. Thus understand the tabernacle of the most High, the manifestation of God through the flesh.


Saint Basil of Caesarea, Homilies on the Psalms, from Psalm 45

1 Ps 45.5
