Consecrating priests
This chapter records the process of consecrating priests. The priests were to be set apart from the rest of Israel because Yahweh is holy. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/consecrate, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holy)

"I will live among the Israelites"
As God, Yahweh is everywhere and cannot be limited to a single space. This phrase indicates that he permanently remains within Israel in a special way while they have the ark.
