Exegesis
The locative construct bəʾōhēl mōʿēḏ {בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד | bəʾōhēl mōʿēḏ} ‘in the tent of meeting’ identifies the sacred setting, and the prepositional phrase ʾel-kôl-bənê-yiśrāʾēl {אֶל־כָּל־בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל | ʾel-kôl-bənê-yiśrāʾēl} ‘to all the sons of Israel’ denotes the audience. English coordination with “but” captures the abrupt shift from human violence to divine intervention, replicating the Hebrew narrative tension.
