Multiple Versions of the Tabernacle Account

The book explores the existence of multiple versions of the tabernacle account found in the Old Testament, highlighting the discrepancies between these versions. The four main versions include the Masoretic text, Samaritan Hebrew, old Greek, and old Latin. These versions differ in details and ordering of construction, such as the placement of the incense altar and the materials used. The existence of multiple versions suggests a strong interest and ongoing revisions by ancient readers and scribes to grapple with the complex rituals and symbolism in the tabernacle accounts.
