Exegesis
The construct sequence petach ohel moed {פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד | p̄eṭaḥ ʾōhél mōʿēḏ} ‘entrance of the tent of meeting’ specifies the sacred setting. The formal translation preserves the Hebrew order of actor–action–objects–location to reflect the ceremony’s structured progression, while the dynamic version adopts a more fluid English arrangement to enhance readability without sacrificing the theological emphasis on covenantal encounter.
