Exodus 15:17 מָכ֧וֹן a place

You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance—the place, O LORD, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.

Here: From the root kun, 'to be firm, set up'. It means a firmly fixed site or base, especially the seat of a throne or temple. It echoes the closing verb 'established' (from the same root), which frames the two lines.

1 Kings 8:13 מָכ֥וֹן a place

I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”

1 Kings 8:39 מְכ֤וֹן [the] place of

be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—

Here: This noun comes from the root for 'be firm, established'. It means a settled, permanent base. YLT keeps this with 'the settled place'.

1 Kings 8:43 מְכ֣וֹן [the] place

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.

Here: From a root meaning 'to stand firm, be set up.' It is the settled, established base where something stands. Here it renames 'the heavens' as God's permanent seat.

1 Kings 8:49 מְכ֣וֹן [the] place

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.

2 Chronicles 6:2 וּמָכ֥וֹן and a place

But I have built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”

2 Chronicles 6:30 מְכ֤וֹן [the] place of

be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of men—

Here: From the root "to be firm, established": a firm, set place. Heaven is God's permanent seat, while the temple is the place toward which people pray.

2 Chronicles 6:33 מִמְּכ֣וֹן from [the] place of

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.

2 Chronicles 6:39 מִמְּכ֣וֹן from [the] place of

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and pleas, and may You uphold their cause. May You forgive Your people who sinned against You.

Ezra 2:68 מְכוֹנֽוֹ׃ place its

When they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave freewill offerings to rebuild the house of God on its original site.

Here: 'Its established place.' This is the spot where the house properly and firmly belongs. The same word appears in Israel's songs about God's dwelling place (Exodus 15:17; 1 Kings 8:13), so it carries a sense of God's fixed home on earth.

Psalm 33:14 מִֽמְּכוֹן־ from [the] place of

From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

Psalm 89:14 מְכ֣וֹן [the] foundation of

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.

Here: From the root kun, 'to be firm, set up'. It means the firmly set base or platform a thing rests on. The throne does not float: it stands on right order and justice. Take those away and the throne has nothing under it.

Psalm 97:2 מְכ֣וֹן [the] foundation of

Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.

Here: From the root kûn, 'to be firm, set up'. It means the firm base or set place something stands on. Righteousness and justice are what the throne stands on and what keeps it upright.

Psalm 104:5 מְכוֹנֶ֑יהָ foundations its

He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

Here: 'Its bases' (plural, with 'its' pointing back to the earth). From the root meaning 'to be firm, set in place'. The picture is of supports the earth stands on, like a building's footings or the 'pillars of the earth' in other Hebrew poetry.

Isaiah 4:5 מְכ֨וֹן [the] place of

Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy,

Here: An 'established place', a word often used for God's own dwelling site (Exod 15:17; 1 Kgs 8:13). Here it means every inhabited or settled spot of Mount Zion. KJV's 'dwelling place' fits this well.

Isaiah 18:4 בִמְכוֹנִ֑י in place my

For this is what the LORD has told me: “I will quietly look on from My dwelling place, like shimmering heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

Here: 'In my established place': God's throne-seat, in heaven or in the temple on Zion. The preposition is 'in', not 'from', so God stays where he is and does not stir yet.

Daniel 8:11 מְכ֥וֹן [the] place of

It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed His daily sacrifice and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.

Here: A firmly set place. In worship language it means God's established dwelling: 'the place (makhon) you made for your dwelling' (Exod 15:17); 'a place for you to dwell forever' (1 Kgs 8:13). The point is that God's settled, permanent home is overturned.
