Exegesis
The genitive chain tēs skēnēs tou martyriou {τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου | tēs skēnês toû martyríou} functions attributively, specifying this temple as that of the “tabernacle of the testimony,” echoing the Exodus tent of meeting that housed the covenant tablets and served as a focal point of divine revelation.
Root and etymology
skenesigma–kappa–eta–nu–eta
“tent, dwelling, tabernacle”
