| Summary: | In a recent essay Jaeyong Jeon has argued that the Chronicler’s depiction of the Davidic and Mosaic tents, along with their cultic associated cultic paraphernalia and associated, bespeaks an anti-priestly Tendenz.

The present article takes issue with this position; after addressing the difficulties in Jeon’s proposal it proffers a very different understanding of the role of the Mosaic tent in the Chronicler’s Weltanschauung. |
