This is variously styled the 'tabernacle of testimony, or of witness,' the 'tabernacle of the congregation,' or 'tent of meeting.' It was the place recognised by Jehovah, where, as dwelling among them, He met His people, and where in separation from the outer world His will was made known.

PLAN OF THE TABERNACLE.
(Not to scale)
The tabernacle was a rectangle, measuring ten cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in length, which was divided into ten cubits for the holy of holies and twenty for the holy (place). The sides were formed of boards of acacia wood, ten cubits in height, set by tenons into silver sockets, each board having two sockets. The boards were kept together by horizontal bars throughout, and were all covered with gold. If the whole tabernacle be taken as typical of Christ, then the gold and the wood may point to His divinity and His humanity, or the gold may be taken as typical of divine righteousness. Internally all was gold and embroidered work: the wood was not seen.
The whole was covered with curtains, the innermost being of rich embroidered work of various colours; then curtains of woven goats' hair; then coverings of rams' skins and badgers' skins typical of entire preservation from outward evil. There were three distinct parts in the entire covering: the tabernacle, the tent, and the covering. Exodus 35:11 . The inner curtains, which were of such widths that the junctions of each set did not fall in the same place as the one next to it, formed the tabernacle ( mishkan ); the set of curtains of goats' hair were the tent ( ohel ) of the tabernacle (see TENT); and the rams' skins and badgers' skins formed the covering ( mikseh ). An embroidered hangingformed the door, or the first veil. Exodus 25 Exodus 27 gives God's approach to man; Exodus 28 - Exodus 30 , man's approach to God; and Exodus 35 Exodus 40 the gifts for the tabernacle and its construction.
The tabernacle as a whole may be said to typify
1. God coming forth in a Man (His own Son) and on the basis of redemption, filling the universe with the light of His glory.
2. The provision made by God for approach to Himself by a redeemed people. Much light is thrown on the tabernacle in the Epistle to the Hebrews, but what is there taught presents often a contrast rather than a comparison to what pertained to the earthly tabernacle.
The tabernacle may also be considered as God's house, and thus a type of the saints in their present place. The temple was for the ordered and established kingdom. In Revelation 21 , after alluding to the kingdom and the eternal state, the Spirit goes back to the thought of the tabernacle.
The tabernacle was carried about during the forty years in the wilderness (see CAMP), and when the Israelites entered the land it was apparently placed first at Gilgal. Joshua 9:6 . Afterwards it was at Shiloh. Joshua 18:1 . While here it was forsaken of God because of the idolatry and wickedness of the people. Psalm 78:60; Jeremiah 7:12,14; Jeremiah 26:6,9 . The ark was taken by the Philistines and was not returned to the tabernacle; nor, when David removed the ark, did he restore it to the tabernacle, but placed it on Mount Zion. We next read of the tabernacle as being at Nob. 1 Samuel 21:1-6 . Afterwards it was at Gibeon. 1 Chronicles 16:39; 1 Chronicles 21:29; 2 Chronicles 1:3-6 . When the temple was built, the tabernacle was brought up, with the ark and the holy vessels. The ark was placed in the most holy place, and the staves drawn out, for it had found its settled rest. The tabernacle gave place to the house, the latter glory of which will yet be greater than ever. 2 Chronicles 5:4-9; Haggai 2:9 .
Amid the coming judgements, we read of "the temple [or shrine, that is, the holy place] of the tabernacle of the testimony" being opened in heaven, and out of the temple proceed the seven angels having the seven vials. Revelation 15:5,6 .
Condensed Biblical Cyclopedia [2]
- The Necessity for It . Revelation is progressive. During the First twenty-five centuries God spoke to individuals at intervals; Sometimes a period of hundreds of years intervened. He spoke to Adam After the transgression ( Genesis 3:1-24 ), and to Cain ( Genesis 4:3-15; There is no record that He spoke to any one else until He communicated With Noah about one hundred years before the flood ( Genesis 6:1-15 ). He also spoke to Noah after the flood ( Genesis 9:8-17 ). Again the silence was unbroken for fully four hundred years ( Genesis 11:10-32; Genesis 12:1-4 ); God called Abraham out of his native country and made him and his Family the receptacle of His revelations. He spoke, #to Abraham repeatedly ( Genesis 12:1-8; Genesis 15:8-21; Genesis 22:1-18 ), #to Isaac ( Genesis 26:1-5,24 ), #to Jacob ( Genesis 28:10-15; Genesis 31:3; Genesis 46:1-4 ).
Again the silence was unbroken until he spoke to Moses in the burning Bush ( Exodus 3:1-10; Acts 7:29-34 ). The order that prevailed was first the natural, afterward the spiritual; or, "first the blade, then the ear, After that the full corn in the ear" ( Mark 4:28 ). The Israelites had been sojourners and strangers four hundred years. Owing to their Ignorance and the natural tendencies of the sinful heart they had Fallen into the pollutions of those by whom they had been surrounded. They had drifted away from the one true God. They had, to a certain Extent, forgotten the examples of their illustrious progenitors. They Needed a manifestation of Jehovah that would at once emphasize his Personality, majesty and eternity. God adapted himself to their Necessities. Hence He said to Moses: "And let them make me a sanctuary That I may dwell among them" ( Exodus 25:8 ).
All these things were obtained directly from the people by a free will Offering and with them many other articles that were used in preparing The clothing of the priests and in the worship after its inauguration ( Exodus 25:1-40; Exodus 35:1-35 ).
Into these were fitted sixty pillars of brass, and on them were hooks Of silver on which were hung curtains of linen. The curtains for The doors were ornamented with needle work, and in this respect Differed from the remainder of the hanging which were plain linen ( Exodus 38:8-20 ). The court when completed was, allowing eighteen inches to the cubit, one hundred and fifty feet long, seventy-five feet Wide, and seven and a half feet high ( Exodus 27:18 ). The only articles of furniture belonging strictly to the court were,
#the altar of burnt sacrifices, #and the brazen laver ( Exodus 40:28-30 ).The people were permitted to enter the court ( Exodus 40:28,29; Leviticus 1:1-3Psalms 5:7; Psalm 84:2,10; Psalm 100:4 ), but they were excluded from the tabernacle on penalty of death ( Numbers 1:51 ). The priests, Aaron's sons, were permitted to enter the holy place ( Leviticus 1:1-17; Hebrews 9:6 ), but only the high priest was permitted to enter the holy of holies, and he only Once a year ( Leviticus 16:1-34; Hebrews 9:7 ). I think we may safely conclude that,
#the court was a type of the world, #the holy place was a type of the church, #and the holy of holies, a type of heaven.Note that men could not enter except through the doors. Three births are here typified:
# the birth of flesh, #the new birth, #and the birth from the grave ( John 3:1-13; 1 Corinthians 15:35-56 ).In other words, we enter the world by virtue of the birth of flesh, the church by virtue of the new birth, and heaven by virtue of the birth from the dead.
Thus forming a solid wall on the two sides and west end. The boards Were overlaid with gold. They were supported and strengthened by five Bars of shittim wood extending along the sides and west end. The middle Bar was made to "shoot through" the boards from one end to the other ( Exodus 26:15-29; Exodus 27:20-34 ).
And was, allowing eighteen inches to the cubit, thirty feet long, fifteen feet wide, and fifteen feet high ( Exodus 26:1-34 ). Its articles of furniture were,
#table of showbread, #candlestick, #and altar of incense ( Exodus 40:24-27 ).The second apartment was called,
# the most holy place ( Exodus 26:33 ), #the holy place within the vail ( Leviticus 16:2 ), #and holy sanctuary,And was, allowing eighteen inches to the cubit, fifteen feet long, fifteen feet wide, and feet feet high ( Exodus 26:1-34 ). Its only article of furniture was the ark of the covenant ( Exodus 40:20,21 ).
The material used in the construction of the first or inner covering Was fine twined linen; blue, purple and scarlet in color, and it was Elaborately ornamented with figures of cherubim. Ten curtains, each, Allowing eighteen inches to the cubit, forty-two feet long and six feet Wide, were embraced in this inner covering ( Exodus 36:8,9 ). These ten curtains were formed into grand curtains ( Exodus 26:3; Exodus 36:10 ). The two grand curtains thus formed were coupled together with fifty loops Of blue and fifty taches of gold ( Exodus 36:10-13 ). It will be seen by measurement that the tabernacle was, allowing eighteen inches to the Cubit, forty-five feet long, fifteen feet wide and fifteen feet high ( Exodus 26:15-26 ). Now, measure the cherub covering allowing eighteen inches to the cubit and you will find that it was sixty feet long and Forty-two feet wide ( Exodus 36:8-13 ). Notice also that the cherub covering was placed on the tabernacle with the surplus in length Hanging over the west end ( Exodus 26:1-33 ). A part of this covering, forty-five feet long and fifteen feet wide, was necessary to cover the Top of the tabernacle; and there was a surplusage of thirteen and half Feet on each side and fifteen feet at the west end besides the corner Surplusage ( Exodus 26:1-37; Exodus 36:8-38 ). Note that from the east end of the tabernacle to the taches uniting the two grand curtains, directly above The second vail, the distance was thirty feet ( Exodus 26:1-33 ). The second covering was constructed of a cloth made of goats' hair ( Exodus 36:14 ). It embraced eleven curtains, each of which, allowing eighteen inches to the cubit, was forty-five feet long and six feet Wide ( Exodus 36:14,15 ). Two grand curtains were made out of the eleven goats' hair curtains; the first combination embraced five of the Smaller curtains and the second combination embraced six ( Exodus 36:16 ). The two grand curtains thus formed were united by fifty loops and fifty Taches of brass ( Exodus 36:17,18 ). The sixth curtain was doubled in the forefront of the tabernacle ( Exodus 26:9 ). Allowing eighteen inches to the cubit and the goats' hair covering was sixty-six feet long and Forty-five wide ( Exodus 36:14-18 ). The second covering was placed on the tabernacle so that once small curtain extended over the front and The remainder extended over the sides and west end. The part of this Curtain required to cover the top of the tabernacle was forty-five feet Long and fifteen feet wide. The surplusage on the north and south sides And west end extended to the ground ( Exodus 26:15-25; Exodus 36:14-19 ). The third covering was made of rams' skins dyed red and the fourth or top Covering was made of badgers' skins ( Exodus 36:19 ).

(1056 + 602 + 220 + 205 + 430 + 11Months + 15 days = 2513 years, 11 months and 15 days). It was, therefore, two thousand five hundred and thirteen years, eleven months and fifteen days after the creation of Adam.
