What is the tent of witness?

Acts 7:44 (ESV)

44 “Our fathers had the tent of witness in the wilderness, just as he who spoke to Moses directed him to make it, according to the pattern that he had seen.

This refers to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting (Exodus 27:21). The use of the term witness is likely to draw attention to the revelation of God’s commandments to Moses.1
