Commentary

Matthew Henry on 2 Chronicles 30:13-20

The time appointed for the passover having arrived, a very great congregation came together upon the occasion, Ch2 30:13. Now here we have, I.

And will not turn away his face from you - Well expressed by the Targum: "For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not cause his majesty to ascend up from among you, if ye will return to his fear." The shechinah, of which the Targumist speaks, is the dwelling of the Divine Presence among men, and the visible symbol of that presence.
