Verse 44
44. Tabernacle of witness The tabernacle built by Moses and carried through the wilderness lasted probably until the time of David. It was a movable structure, after whose model the temple was built. (See note on Matthew 21:12.) In the Hebrew language the word signifying to meet or to congregate or constitute, and the word signifying to testify, closely resemble each other, and so this tabernacle was called both the tabernacle of the congregation and (by the Septuagint translators) the tabernacle of testimony or witness. It was called the former because the congregations of Israel gathered to it; it was called the latter because it contained the covenant by which God testified himself as the God of Israel.
As he had appointed, speaking unto Moses More clearly, As he who spoke unto Moses had appointed.
