The Tabernacle in the Wilderness is a study of God Manifestation. When thus viewed, many of its lessons become clearer and their impressions upon us deeper and more lasting.
Its many features were designed to teach Israel what Yahweh required as suitable dwelling place in the midst of His people during their wilderness sojourn. Thus He gave them a place at which they could meet Him, as well as a Law by which to educate them: both essential pre-requisites to His purpose in preparing them as a holy people unto Himself.
