Hello friends of this great community of steemit, following with the themes of this week in @ today Wednesday is day of STRUCTURES and I have chosen one of the oldest structures and one of the most significant in the history of God and Man this is:
THE TABERNACLE OF MOSES
This is a special tent to worship Jehovah. It is called the tabernacle. This building was finished by the Israeli people a year after it left the land of Egypt. But ... Do you know whose idea it was to do it? It was Jehovah's idea. While Moses was up on Mount Sinai, Jehovah told him how to do it. He told him to do it so that he could easily dismount. So the parties could be taken to another place, and there to get together again. Therefore, when the Israelites moved from one place to another in the desert, they brought with them the tent (Exodus 25: 8-40) the tabernacle to emphasize that God was the main center of the people of Israel since the tabernacle was located in the middle of the camp. Numbers 2:17
It should not be confused with the Temple of Jerusalem, built in the tenth century BC. The tabernacle was a rectangular space 30 cubits long (about 13 meters) and 10 wide and high (about 4 meters). It had two divisions:
• The Holy Place, 20 cubits long, containing the seven-branched candelabrum, the table of the showbread and the altar where the perfumes and incense were burned.
• The Most Holy Place or Holy of Holies was where the Ark of the Covenant (also known as "Ark of the Covenant" or "Ark of the Covenant") was kept and where the relics of the Exodus were kept, that is, the Tablets of the Law, the rod of Aaron and manna.
A beautiful veil suspended from four wooden columns covered with gold plates that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies.
The space that surrounded the tabernacle was called the atrium. In this one, in front of the door of the Tabernacle, was the Altar of the burnt offerings, where the meat of the sacrificed animals was burned as an offering. There was also a large vessel filled with water and called a bronze fountain, where the priests washed their hands and feet before performing the functions of their ministry. The Tabernacle had an atrium where those who came to worship God, whether or not they were originally part of the Tribes of Israel, were located.
There is a Reconstruction in the Timna National Park, Israel and some record of altars of Adoration to Jehovah were found, with stairs and stones
Financially it was built through what he asked Moses to collect a voluntary offering. God forced no one to give for the construction of the tabernacle, the offerings were costly offerings, since the amount of what was received amounts to more than one million dollars in our days.
Exodus 25: 2 "Tell the children of Israel that they gather an offering for me. Of every man who gives it voluntarily, from the heart, you will gather my offering. "
