“Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.”
'Our ancestors under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them. It remained in the land until the time of David - the tabernacle moves through Israel's history with Joshua's generation, remaining central until David's time. The 'land' (gēn) that God 'drove out before them' is conquered by divine action, not by military prowess alone. The tabernacle's journey through history establishes continuity and movement, not fixity.
