Exodus 29:42 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

This shall be a continual burnt offering, х `owlat (H5769) taamiyd (H8548)] - an offering continued daily. The design of the burnt offerings was to make atonement to God for sins committed in general (Leviticus 1:4); and they were presented partly in the name of the whole nation, daily, every morning and evening (cf. Numbers 7:15-17; Numbers 8:12; Numbers 28:1-31), as also on special occasions.

At the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, х 'ohel (H168) mow`eed (H4150)] - the tent of meeting; so called, either because God communed with Moses (Exodus 25:22; Num. 17:19), or because the assemblies of the people were held there, both for worship and for national purposes (Leviticus 6:2-3; Numbers 13:4) [Septuagint, teen skeeneen tou marturiou, the tabernacle of witness], but never within the sacred edifice.
