Building the Tabernacle


Exodus 35 - 40:38

What is Tabernacle?

Tabernacle
The tabernacle is just a fancy word for tent The tabernacle was an oblong structure, about 45 feet long, and 15 feet wide and high (about the size of a very small house; 1ft = 1/3 meter or 0,3048 meter = about 30 centimeter)

It was made out of wood, covered with gold, and put together with sockets of silver and brass It was covered with three layers of animal skins Inside, it had very costly curtains that were adorned with different symbols that were very beautiful and had a lot of spiritual meaning. The outside of the tabernacle was made out of rough badgers' skins, to protect it from bad weather

The Tabernacle itself was divided into two unequal chambers. The Holy of Holies was in the inner chamber and held the Ark of the Covenant

The other chamber, which was twice as large, was called the Holy Place.

Exodus 36:8 tells that something really wonderful about the tabernacle is that God chose and called gifted artisans to work on it

There is so much that we can learn from the building of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle itself :
We see Gods desire to dwell with His people and of course, we also learned that He now indwells us who are believers in Jesus Christ. God dwells inside of His children. We also learned that God is concerned with the smallest detail. Every aspect of His work is important. Also His word, the Bible, is sufficient for everything that we will ever need. We can see a glimpse of how much God does love us and cares about every little thing in our life

Memory Verse
Psalm 84:1 How lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord Almighty!
