The Tabernacle
The Tabernacle (or Mishkan in Hebrew) was God’s designated dwelling among His people. On Mount Sinai, God made a covenant with Moses and Israelites, declaring, “If you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people…” (Exod. 19:5a). God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and instructions for living as a holy people, set apart to honor Him and reflect His presence in the world.
In Exodus 25, God instructed Moses to collect offerings of gold, silver, copper, linens, colored threads, wood, oil, animal skins, precious stones and other materials to build a sanctuary: “And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it” (Exod. 25:8–9). Every detail mattered: the dimensions, the materials, the furnishings, even the garments of the priests were specified to honor God’s holiness.
