The Tent of Meeting and the Tabernacle in Leviticus

The tent of meeting and the tabernacle are most often used interchangeably as the structure built in the second half of exodus, the preceding book. In leviticus, they are one and the same. The standard explanation for this is that there are two ancient israelite traditions about the tent of meeting. Priests may have wanted to bring all contact with god under their authority. It's more than we know.
