Clouds II

[Shin]

'The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.'

Exodus 40:32

[eschator83]

In my NAB (1970 OT, except Psalms, 1991), Ex 40-34 reads the cloud covered the meeting tent and the glory of the Lord filled the Dwelling.  This entire chapter seems to avoid the word Tabernacle.  Can you comment on these changes, or where to look for explanations?

The tent of meeting is the Tabernacle.
There has been an effort to avoid ancient terms and to use words that describe simply what is being referenced, to lower the reading difficulty it would seem.
