Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:44

1:58 The word “settling” (osameru) means putting something into the condition it should be in. Here, the verse is talking about putting the Residence into the condition it should be in. God is working to hasten the arrangements or preparations for the settling.
