Tabernacle
The portable tent sanctuary where God dwelt among Israel during their wilderness journey. Exodus 25-31 and 35-40 detail its construction according to God's exact specifications. The tabernacle contained the outer court (with the bronze altar and laver), the Holy Place (with the table of showbread, lampstand, and incense altar), and the Most Holy Place (with the Ark of the Covenant). Its design taught profound truths about approaching a holy God. Hebrews 8-9 explains the tabernacle as a 'copy and shadow' of heavenly realities, fulfilled in Christ who 'entered the Most Holy Place once for all' (Hebrews 9:12).
