שם "**אהל מועד**" בא לפעמים בדוקא על אהל מועד שבמדבר, ולפעמים בא לדוגמא והוא הדין המקדש שנבנה אחר כך. והכלל בזה שבמקום שבא רק לציין המקום – בא לדוגמא. אבל אם בא משום קדושת המקום יש לטעות שאהל מועד דוקא, שקדושתו משונה מקדושת המקדש, ואז צריך ריבוי לרבות המקדש. (צו ס' עד)

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
The noun **אהל מועד** (tent of meeting) sometimes means precisely the Tent of Meeting that was in the desert and sometimes comes *for example* and the same applies with respect to the Temple that was built afterwards. And the rule in this is that anywhere in which it comes only to indicate the place – it will come *for example*. But if it comes because of the holiness of the place, then it will be possible to err and think that it means precisely the Tent of Meeting, that its holiness is different than the holiness of the Temple, so it will need an amplificatory expression to include the Temple.

*Leviticus 6:23 says, וכל חטאת אשר יובא מדמה אל אהל מועד לכפר בקדש לא תאכל באש תשרף (And no sin-offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire). The words אהל מועד (tent of meeting) indicate only the tent of meeting, while לכפר בקדש (to make atonement in the holy place) is an amplificatory expression to include also the Temple, in accordance with Rule 287⁵⁹⁵.*
