Summary:

"The textual and literary nature of the Tabernacle section in MT Exodus 35-40 is complex. In this work, Domenico Lo Sardo argues for the priority of the Hebrew Vorlage behind the Vetus Latina and the Masoretic Text pointing to legitimate the centralization of the Jerusalem Temple with the expansion of Exodus 36:8b-34." --back cover
