Exegesis
The construct chain peṭaḥ ʼōhel mōʿēḏ {פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד | pe-ṭaḥ ʼō-hel mō-ʿēḏ} ‘entrance of the tent of meeting’ delineates the sacred locus. English renders the Hebrew V-verb sequence in SVO order to maintain clarity and ritual flow, preserving the progression from selection to presentation in the holy space.
