SCRIPTURE

"How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Jehovah of hosts!" — Psalms 84:1 (ASV)

How amiable. —Better, How loved and how lovable. The Hebrew word combines both senses.

Tabernacles. —Better, perhaps, dwellings. (Compare to Psalms 43:3.) The plural is used poetically; therefore, we need not think of the various courts of the Temple.
