The Tabernacle

The Tabernacle was a portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wilderness journey after leaving Egypt. It served as a sacred space to worship God, featuring an inner sacred area called the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept, and a courtyard with various offerings and ritual objects. The design included specific materials and rituals that symbolized God's presence and convey spiritual truths. The Tabernacle was central to Israelite worship, emphasizing reverence, obedience, and God's desire to dwell among His people. It foreshadowed later religious structures and themes of divine relationship.
