Exegesis
Finally, the appositional phrase mekom mikdasheinu {מְקוֹם מִקְדָּשֵֽׁנוּ | mə-qōm miq-dašē-nū} ‘the place of our sanctuary’ identifies the exalted throne as the locus of the community’s sacred assembly. English reconstructions expand this nominal series into full copular clauses to preserve clarity while maintaining the Hebrew emphasis on divine majesty and holiness.
In context — Jeremiah 17:12
A throne of glory set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary .
