(represented by several Heb. and Gr. words). God is metaphorically called the habitation of his people (Psalms 71:3), in him they find the most delightful rest, safety, and comfort (Psalms 91:9).

The land of Canaan, the city of Jerusalem, the tabernacle and Temple, are spoken of as the habitation of God; there he does or did signally show himself present (Psalms 132:5; Psalms 132:13; Ephesians 2:22). Eternity is represented as his habitation (Isaiah 57:15). He "inhabited the praises of Israel," a told metaphor, implying that Jehovah is the object of, and kindly accepts the praises of his people (Psalms 22:3). (See DWELLING).
