before the mercy seat that is over the testimony.The words [lpny hkprt ashr `l h`dt,] {liphney haccapporeth asher âl haaiduth,} "before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony," are thought to be a repetition of the preceding clause, [lpn` hprkt 'sha `l 'rn h`dt,] {liphney happarocheth asher âl aron haaiduth,} "before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony; the word [hprkt,] ,] {happarocheth,} "the vail," being corrupted, by transposing the letters into [hkprt,] ,] {hacapporeth,} "the mercy-seat," and the word ['rn,] ,] {aron,} "ark," omitted. This repetition, as Dr. Kennicott observes, places the altar of incense before the mercy-seat, and consequently in the Holy of Holies! Now this could not be, as the altar of incense was attended every day, and the Holy of Holies entered only once in the year. The five words which appear to be a repetition are wanting in twenty-six of Kennicott's and Rossi's MSS. and in the Samaritan Text.
