This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
With men
Men at large. No longer with an isolated people like Israel.
He shall dwell (σκηνώσει)
Lit., tabernacle. Only in Revelation and Joh 1:14. The word “denotes much more than the mere general notion of dwelling. There lies in it one of the particulars of that identification of Christ and His people which is fundamental to the seer.” See on Joh 1:14. Compare Eze 37:27, Eze 37:28.
People (λαοὶ)
Notice the plural, peoples (so Rev.), because many nations shall partake of the fulfillment of the promise. Compare Rev 21:24.
And God Himself shall be with them and be their God
And be is inserted. The Greek is shall be with them their God.
