God's Mobile Presence
Commentators emphasize that God's statement, "I have walked in a tent," signifies His mobile presence with Israel for centuries. Unlike a fixed temple, the Tabernacle moved as the people moved, from the Exodus through the time of the Judges. This shows God's identification with His people's journey, dwelling among them wherever they went.
