When God liberated the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, lead by Mosses, they’re out in the wilderness, grumbling, prone to building themselves idols. Therefore, a portable dwelling place, the tabernacle should be built by God. This is when God put Bezalel and his team in charge, Israel’s genius craftsman, with ability and talent to build the tabernacle.
They built the tabernacle with the finest materials and it’s various objects, such as the ark of the covenant, the table of showbread, and the menorah. It was a place of worship for the Israelites, and a place for God to dwell among them. The presence of God, the Shekinah, living among the people is crucial theme in the Bible.
The tabernacle was a physical representation of God’s presence and a reminder of His covenant, His faithfulness and promises.
It was a place of worship and sacrifice. These sacrifices were a sign of their devotion and obedience to God.
