As it hath reference to a place, it is taken indefinitely or determinately.
1 In an indefinite acception any place where God is pleased to afford an especial representation of his presence, may be named Gods house. Thus athat place where Jacob in his journey lay and slept, is called The house of God, because of that divine vision wherein the Lord there appeared to him. The reason of this name given to that place, is expressly rendered in these words, bSurely the LORD is in this place. On a like ground the places where the Lord appeared to cMoses, and to dJoshua, are called holy ground.
