Day 40: Tabernacle built

More on the beautiful sight of the Tabernacle. God’s dwellling place on earth. I guess for the Israelites this was concrete proof of the fact that their God was with them. How important that must have been in the wilderness.

I was curious to try and visualise what the Tabernacle would look like, so I googled “recreating the Tabernacle.” Sure enough someone in America has made one, and there are lots of pictures.

It’s quite impressive, although the girth of the “Levite” in the pictures is even more so! I need to try and image this in the middle of a makeshift camp or shanty town, which I guess is how the Israelites were living.
