The Church Fathers on this verse

One Church Father comments on this verse

Jerome of Stridon

4th centuryChurch Father

The twenty-second encampment can be understood as an assembly, where the community of believers comes together—this represents the Church of the firstborn and the harmony of all virtues. Indeed, we can affirm, What is good, or what is lovely, except that brethren dwell together in unity (Psalm 132:1)? And, God resides with one heart in a home (Psalm 67:7).
