In the tent of an emir the innermost space is accessible to himself only, or those whom he particularly honours; into the outer tent others may come. The furniture is costly, the floor covered with a rich carpet, and has a stand with a censer and coals, on which incense is strewed. Hence we have the simple idea after which this magnificent royal tent of Jehovah, the King and God of the Hebrews, was made. hanging: Joh 10:9, Joh 14:6; Eph 2:18; Heb 4:14-16 So Moses: Exo 39:32; Kg1 6:9; Zac 4:9; Joh 4:34, Joh 17:4; Ti2 4:7; Heb 3:2-5 Exodus 40:34
