Exegesis
In contrast, the ark’s status in bĕrît-YHWH {בְּרִית-יְהוָה | bĕrît-YHWH} under the preposition ṭaḥaṯ {תַּחַת | ṭaḥaṯ} ‘under’ and the noun yĕriʿōt {יְרִיעוֹת | yĕriʿōt} ‘curtains’ underscores divine humility. English rendering divides Hebrew clauses for clarity while preserving formal sequence and theological tension.

In context — 1 Chronicles 17:1
And it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remains under curtains .”
