During the 40 years that the Israelites wandered in the desert under Moses' leadership, God was with them. God gave clear instructions to the Israelites for a sancturary where his spirit could dwell and where people could gather for worship and to offer sacrifices. This sanctuary is called the tabernacle.
Every element in the tabernacle was significant. Even the way that the Exodus narrative embeds the story of Israel's betrayal of God within the tabernacle narrative is remarkably important to God's story.
