What is the Tabernacle?
The Tabernacle is the original pattern of the church we all go to, but it also
tells us a great deal about our God and about His Heaven. It told the Israel-
ites much about their Promised Messiah and God’s plan of salvation. When
God freed the Israelites from their slavery in Egypt, He instructed them to
build the Tabernacle as His dwelling place where they would worship Him
wherever He led them. The Tabernacle was built under Moses’ direction,
following specic orders from God.
Let’s look at some of the details of the Tabernacle:
The Tabernacle had only one entrance gateway located on the east side.
The Israelites could enter only by passing through this gate. We are remind-
ed that we can only be saved through the saving work of Jesus Christ.
The outer screen fence of the courtyard was supported by 60 posts. The
fence was covered on the outside with ne linen fabric, symbolizing the
purity and holiness of Christ.
Once one entered the courtyard, the Altar of Burnt Offering was the rst
item encountered. This altar was the place where the sacricial animals
were brought. Sacricial animals typically were male calves, goats, sheep or
pigeons. The slaughter of the animals and the preparation of the sacrices
were done in this area of the courtyard. Fire for the altar was sent from God,
and the priests were required to keep it burning at all times. The Altar was a
constant reminder to the people that their sin had a consequence—death—
and that God’s plan of atonement involved the death of an innocent animal
to atone for their sins. Jesus, the Innocent, died in our place.
Directly behind the altar was the Laver, a large water basin on a stand. The
priests used the laver to wash their hands and feet. The ordinary people
were not allowed to use this water. The laver can be seen as representing
Christ washing away our sins.
The interior of the Tabernacle was partitioned off into two sections, The Holy
Place and the Holy of Holies. The outer section, the Holy Place, contained
The Altar of Incense, The Table of Showbread and the Golden Lampstand.
The Altar of Incense was kept burning continuously by the priest, with the
rising smoke of the fragrant incense representing the prayers of the people
ascending to God. On the Table of Showbread were twelve loaves of bread
representing the twelve tribes, and symbolizing God’s provision for the

needs of His people. The Golden Lampstand was pure gold. It was made
with a center shaft and six branches with an olive-oil-burning lamp in each
of the seven heads. Its seven ames lighted the inside of the Tabernacle, just
as Jesus, the Light of the World, lights our pathway as we follow Him.
The entrance to the Holy Place was covered with a heavy curtain. Another
heavy curtain separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. Only the
High Priest was permitted to enter the Holy of Holies, the place where God
dwelt, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement, to make atonement
for the sins of the people.
Within the Holy of Holies rested the Ark of the Covenant, upon which was
placed the Mercy Seat. The Ark contained the stone tablets of the Law, a jar of
manna and Aaron’s staff that blossomed. The mercy seat covered the ark and
was sprinkled with blood by the high priest when he entered each year. The
sprinkled blood showed the covering of the people’s sin from God’s sight.
The Tabernacle was covered with a tent-like covering made up of four layers
of material; the innermost layer was white linen, the second was of goat hair,
the third was of ram skins dyed red, and the outer layer was made of hides
of sea cows. The tent structure was about 15 feet tall and could be seen from
outside the courtyard fence.
God’s presence with Israel was symbolized by the presence of a pillar of re
at night and a pillar of cloud during the daytime, over the Tabernacle.
Everything in the Tabernacle, including the structure and all of the furnish-
ings, was designed to be easily transported from place to place as the Israel-
ites moved about on their journey to the Promised Land.

Begin at the “start” mark and proceed to the “end” mark as directed.
(Note: Make sure the hooks are fully inserted. We recommend they
be pressed into place by using a stick if necessary.)
Important: Be sure the hooks are turned as indicated above.

2. Installing the posts and the fence
Begin at the “start” mark and proceed
to the “end” mark as directed.
Pass the cloth through the
slotted posts to the right.
1. Install the rst post - put in the cloth and fasten
it by folding part of it inward, about 1 cm,
to prevent it from coming out. Apply a small
amount of glue on the rst post.
2. For the last post, do the same thing as to the rst
one to make sure it does not come out. Apply a
small amount of glue to hold the cloth material.
Using some glue may help.
