The Tabernacle – God in the Midst

Exodus 25
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. “And this [is] the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; “blue, purple, and scarlet [thread,] fine linen, and goats’ [hair;] “ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; “oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; “onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. “And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. “According to all that I show you, [that is,] the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make [it.] (Exodus 25:1-9)
