The word tabernacle is taken from the Latin tabernaculum, or “tent.” The tabernacle of the LORD (also called the “tent of the congregation”) was the portable sanctuary constructed by the Israelites at God’s behest to house the ark of the covenant as they moved from place to place in their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. (See Exod. 25–27.)
Following the construction of the ark, Moses “brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering.”[1] The tabernacle, which was surrounded by an outer court, was divided into two chambers separated by vails.[2] The first, called “the holy place,” contained the candlestick, table, and shewbread; the second, or “the most holy place,” was reserved for the ark of the covenant and could only be entered by the high priest.[3] It was honored as the dwelling place of the God of Israel, who sat upon the “mercy seat” on top of the ark.[4]
