Quick answer

Overview

This verse expresses the heart of the covenant: 'I will be your God, and you will be my people,' with the added assurance 'I am with you.' Knowing God's nearness is the goal of all His saving acts. It anticipates Immanuel, 'God with us' (Matt. 1:23), and the final promise that God will dwell with His people forever (Rev. 21:3).
