Exodus Tabernacle Overview

ExodusSteve Gregg
The Exodus Tabernacle served as a portable dwelling place for God among the Israelites and was a significant undertaking constructed from donated materials such as gold and wood. While Exodus provides a factual account of its design, size, materials, and positions, the New Testament recognizes Christ as at least one antitype of the tabernacle, embodying God's dwelling among people in physical form. The tabernacle represents the approach to God, with Christ serving as the anti-type that leads the way to God, and the writer of Hebrews uses it to convey the approach to God and the inaccessibility of God without Christ.
