The Tabernacle; Its History And Structure

The Tabernacle (Hebrew: ?????????? mishk?n meaning tent or dwelling place) according to the Hebrew Bible is known as the Tent of the Congregation (?????? ??????? ’?hel m?‘ê?) was the movable earthly dwelling place of Yahweh (the God of Israel). It was used by the Israelites from the Exodus until the conquest of Canaan. Moses was commanded at Mount Sinai to build and transport the tabernacle along with the Israelites on their way through the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land. After 440 years Solomon's Temple build in Jerusalem superseded it becoming the new dwelling-place of God. This famous construction is closely studied by Rev. Shaw in four parts with numerous illustrations and footnotes: Part I: The History Of The Tabernacle: Part II: The Triple Cubit Of Babylonia Part III: Triple Cubit Of Babylonia As Used In The Construction Of The Tabernacle Part IV: The Triple Cubit In Babylonia And In Palestine.
