Parashat haShavuaפרשת השבוע
Terumah- Exodus 25:1- 27:19

** ח ** וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם. Exodus Chapter 25:8


 * JPS translation: And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them

In either Hebrew or English: Is there a difficulty - a kushia - קושיה in this pasuk (verse)? Would you expect it to read differently? If so, how?

Insert your answers here:

A lot of commentators have looked at this pasuk (verse) and because of what it says (against expectation!) have used it to explain some fundamental aspects of our G-d's relationship to us, G-d's people.

What do you think we can learn from this pasuk?
