Exegesis
The coordinate ve-ha-kahal le-yisrael {וְהַקָּהָל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל | wə-hakkāhāl lə-yisrāʾēl} “and the assembly for Israel” defines the beneficiaries, and the purpose clause le-ohel ha-edut {לְאֹהֶל־הָעֵדוּת | lə-ʾōhel-ha-ʿēdût} “for the Tent of Testimony” denotes the destination. The formal rendering maintains Hebrew word order for clarity, while the dynamic version streamlines idiomatic English.
