What happensPermalink
God details the plans and coverings of the tabernacle, the holy place, and the most holy place, including its materials (gold, silver, bronze, linen, ram skin, and goat skin), its dimensions, and its construction.
Why it mattersPermalink
The tabernacle contains a representative throne room for God guarded by cherubim (probably a flying sphinx-like creature) and an antechamber separated by a veil. The interior has bread and light, like a human home.
Key versePermalink
“Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.”
