it is speaking of the divine presence on earth and is best rendered by "tabernacled" or "tented," which reminds us of Israel’s wilderness experience of God’s presence in the tabernacle or tent of meeting (cf. Exod 25:8–9; 35:7–16; 40:1–38).

While reading the above statement, I realized that what I really wanted was a bit of reception history to see whether or not I considered this statement to be "true". So what I would really like to be able to do is:


  1. A search .... we are fine here
  2. Clip the interpretations I find relevant (note I can even tag them as desired)
  3. Sort into approximate date of composition [Oops while the metadata often has this, it's not going to be anywhere I can easily access it so this is a very tedious step to collect and sequence]

So I propose adding a reception history function to clippings ... knowing that anthologies will require manual intervention.
