Exegesis
The final construct chain b’ohel haʿedut {בְּאֹהֶל הָעֵדֻת | bə·ʾō·hēl hā·ʿê·dûṯ} ‘in the tent of the testimony’ anchors the scene within the sanctuary’s inner space. Translating to English SVO order preserves the event sequence while rendering the construct state through ‘of.’ The spatial and grammatical structure underscores the locus of divine witness in Israel’s cult.
