Footnotes

  1. 81 The “Testimony” is a reference to the Ark of the Covenant; so the pot of manna would be placed before Yahweh in the tabernacle. W. C. Kaiser says that this later instruction came from a time after the tabernacle had been built (see Exod 25:10–22; W. C. Kaiser, Jr., “Exodus,” 2:). This is not a problem since the final part of this chapter had to have been included at the end of the forty years in the desert.
  2. 82 “for keeping.”
