The Key Word — תַּבְנִית, tabnîṯgenerated
The noun תַּבְנִית (tabnîṯ) refers to a pattern or model, indicating a specific design to be followed. It is derived from a root meaning 'to build,' suggesting a structured approach to creation and construction.
This term is significant in the context of the tabernacle, as it underscores the necessity of following God's exact specifications. The use of תַּבְנִית here highlights the importance of divine guidance in the creation process.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of a main clause with two imperative verbs: רְאֵ֖ה (see) and עֲשֵׂ֑ה (make), directing Moses to act. The structure emphasizes the commands given to Moses, with the prepositional phrase בְּתַ֨בְנִיתָ֔ם indicating how he should carry out these commands.
The word order places the commands at the forefront, highlighting their importance. The participial phrase מָרְאֶ֖ה describes the pattern that has been shown to Moses, linking the action of making to the divine revelation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תַּבְנִית as τύπον (typon), which means 'type' or 'model.' This choice suggests a broader understanding of the pattern as not merely a physical blueprint but as a typological representation of divine principles.
This interpretation aligns with the LXX's tendency to emphasize the spiritual significance of physical forms, indicating that the tabernacle is not just a structure but a representation of heavenly realities.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) states, "וּרְאֵ֖ה וַעֲשֵׂ֑ה בְּתַ֨בְנִיתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־ אַתָּ֥ה מָרְאֶ֖ה בָּהָֽר׃ ס". The Samaritan Pentateuch agrees with the MT word for word: "וראה ועשׂה בתבניתם אשׁר אתה מראה בהר". The Septuagint, while not providing a direct translation, matches 6 of the 7 words from the MT in its word-by-word correspondence, indicating a strong alignment with the MT's message. Therefore, both the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Septuagint largely support the MT's wording and intent in this verse.
וּרְאֵ֖ה וַעֲשֵׂ֑ה בְּתַ֨בְנִיתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־ אַתָּ֥ה מָרְאֶ֖ה בָּהָֽר׃ ס
