Numbers 10:11
The Journey From Sinai to Kadesh
11 ▼ On the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle of the testimony. ▼▼ Smr inserts a lengthy portion from Deut 1:6–8, expressing the command for Israel to take the land from the Amorites.
▼▼ The expression is difficult; it is מִשְׁכַּן הָעֵדֻת (mishkan ha’edut). The reference is to the sacred shrine that covered the ark with the commandments inside. NEB renders the expression as “tabernacle of the Token”; NAB has “the dwelling of the commandments.”
