Pictures Of The Tabernacle In Exodus
The Tabernacle was the place where God came to dwell with his people. It was a portable tent with the outer walls made of 4 layers of curtains. Inside the Most Holy Place was a box called the Ark of the Covenant that held three important items – Aaron’s rod, a golden jar of manna, and tablets inscribed with ten commandments. There also was a large rectangular table for bread and another one for incense. A golden lampstand held seven lamps that were used to light up the space and an incense altar made out of wood and covered in gold sat in front of these items burning incense 24/7. The Tabernacle sat on Mount Zion in Jerusalem which is now called Mount Moriah because it has be known as where Abraham offered Isaac as sacrifice

The tabernacle was a portable tent with the outer walls made of 4 layers of curtains. The first layer was blue, followed by purple, scarlet and fine linen. These curtains were held up by wooden poles and decorated with cherubim (angels).
The Tabernacle had two rooms – the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.
The Tabernacle had two rooms – the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. The Holy Place was where priests performed their duties, while only a single person could enter at a time into the Most Holy Place: only the high priest, or one of his assistants with him. This small room was separated by a curtain from the rest of the Tabernacle by design.
Inside the Most Holy Place was a box called the Ark of the Covenant that held three important items.
The Ark of the Covenant was a box made of acacia wood, about three feet long and one and a half feet wide. It had two gold rings on its sides for carrying it (Exodus 25:10).
Inside the Most Holy Place was a box called the Ark of the Covenant that held three important items: (1) A golden pot with manna (Exodus 16), which represented God’s provision for His people; (2) Aaron’s rod that budded, representing God’s power to grow His church; and (3) The tablets of stone where God had written His law. The ark was placed in what we would call today as a chapel on top of Mount Sinai or Mount Horeb—the place where Moses received God’s laws from Him.
Aaron’s rod, a golden jar of manna, and tablets inscribed with the ten commandments.
The rod is a symbol of God’s authority. The jar of manna was a reminder of God’s provision. The tablets were a reminder of God’s law. The Ark of the Covenant was a reminder of God’s presence.
There was also a large rectangular table for bread and another for incense.
There was also a large rectangular table for bread and another for incense. The table for bread was made of acacia wood, while the table for incense was made of acacia wood and covered with gold. These two tables were placed at the entrance to the tabernacle (Exodus 40:23). They were used to hold the bread and incense offered by Aaron and his sons as an offering to God on behalf of Israel, day after day (Leviticus 24:7-8).
A golden lampstand held seven lamps that were used to light up the space.
The lampstand, made of pure gold and standing about 5 feet tall, was used to light up the space. It was made from a single piece of hammered gold. The lampstand had seven lamps that were lit every evening and extinguished every morning.
When lit, each lamp burned olive oil with a wick in it—another very important item because you need something to burn that creates fire.
In front of these items burned an incense altar made out of wood and covered with gold.
In front of these items burned an incense altar made out of wood and covered with gold. The word “altar” means to make a sacrifice, so this was the place where sacrifices were offered. It was located in the Holy Place and had a golden top (Exodus 40:26-29).
The incense altar was a symbol of God’s presence because it contained an oil lamp that kept burning while they worshipped their God.
The Tabernacle sat on a hill called Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
The Tabernacle was a portable tent that sat on a hill called Mount Zion in Jerusalem. There were two rooms: the Holy Place, where priests worshipped and offerings were made; and the Most Holy Place, which contained the Ark of the Covenant. Inside it was placed the Ten Commandments (Exodus 25:16).
The Tabernacle was the first place where God came to dwell with his people.
The Tabernacle was the first place where God came to dwell with his people. In the Most Holy Place, God’s presence resided on earth in a cloud and fire (see Exodus 40:34). The Ark of the Covenant was kept there, which represented all that God had given Israel. The Tablets of Stone were also in this room and they contained the Ten Commandments written by Moses (Exodus 31:18, 34). A special lampstand called a Menorah stood between these two rooms so that only priests could enter them (Exodus 27:20-21; Leviticus 16:12).
The Holy Place was accessible only by priests who entered through a curtain into this room once every year on Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16). It contained five objects: 1) golden altar of incense 2) table for showbread 3) menorah 4) two cherubim 5) Ark of covenant
The Tabernacle was the first place where God came to dwell with his people. It was portable and could be moved around as needed, but it also showed how important it is for us to have a physical place where we can go and be close to God.
