NETBible

Our ancestors¹ had the tabernacle² of testimony in the wilderness,³ just as God⁴ who spoke to Moses ordered him⁵ to make it according to the design he had seen.

NET Notes

¹tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

²tn Or “tent.”

²sn The tabernacle was the tent used to house the ark of the covenant before the construction of Solomon’s temple. This is where God was believed to reside, yet the people were still unfaithful.

³tn Or “desert.”

⁴tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.
