2 Samuel 7:6
Read 2 Samuel 7:6 Using Other Translations
What does 2 Samuel 7:6 mean?
Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house
Fixed, stated, habitation:
since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out
of Egypt,
even to this day;
a space of five or six hundred years, though he might before:
but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle;
moving from place to place while in the wilderness, and since in
the land of Canaan, first at Gilgal, then at Shiloh, afterwards
at Nob, and now at Gibeon. "Tent" and "tabernacle" are
distinguished, though they were but one building and habitation;
the tent was the curtains of goats' hair, and the tabernacle the
linen curtains, see ( Exodus 26:1 Exodus 26:6 Exodus
26:11-13 ) . In ( 1 Chronicles
17:5 ) it is "from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle
[to another]"; which does not intend variety of tabernacles, but
change of place.
