Explanation preview
The speaker is a pilgrim who has arrived in Jerusalem, and in this verse he describes the city as the gathering place for all the tribes of Israel. The Hebrew word for testimony, edut, carries the sense of something sworn or decreed, so the tribes coming up to worship are fulfilling what God commanded for his people.
