Exodus 30:5-6
Exod 25:13, Exod 25:27 veil Exod 26:31-35, Exod 40:3, Exod 40:5, Exod 40:26; Matt 27:51; Heb 9:3-4 before the mercy seat that is over the testimony The words μτπι δλτψϊ ΰωΡψ ςμ δςγϊ, liphney haccapporeth asher al haaiduth, "before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony," are thought to be a repetition of the preceding clause, μτπι δτψλϊ ΰωΡψ ςμ ΰψο δςψϊ, liphney happarocheth asher al aron haaiduth, "before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony; the word δτψλϊ , H6532, happarocheth, "the vail," being corrupted, by transposing the letters into δλτψϊ , H3727, hacapporeth, "the mercy-seat," and the word ΰψο, H727, aron, "ark," omitted. This repetition, as Dr. Kennicott observes, places the altar of incense before the mercy-seat, and consequently in the Holy of Holies! Now this could not be, as the altar of incense was attended every day, and the Holy of Holies entered only once in the year. The five words which appear to be a repetition are wanting in twenty-six of Kennicott's and Rossi's manuscripts and in the Samaritan Text.
