So it seems the concept of Ohel Mo'eid as the place of revelation pre-existed and then entered the Mishkan once it was consecrated.

I therefore prefer it to Mechon-Mamre. BTW, it even has a complete Nefesh haChaim! A sire worth bookmarking.)micha bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612144735431285113noreply@blogger.com
