The Scriptures devote more room to the description of the tabernacle than to any other single subject. It was designed in the plan of God to teach spiritual truths. To teach all the truths would take many lessons (and we will do this later) but the important thing is to remember that God taught and still teaches “according to this pattern”.
Read Hebrews 9 and see some of the meaning for us.
- Take notes on Hebrews 9:8-12, what are you learning here?
- Write out Hebrews 9:23.
Exodus 37-38
- THE COMPLETION OF THE TABERNACLE – 37:1-38:20
- What things stood out to you in the construction of the tabernacle?
- THE INVENTORY OF THE TABERNACLE – verses 21-31
- Who did the work on the tabernacle?
- What do you think about reading how much material was used to make the tabernacle?
What are you learning about God these last few days? How does this apply to your life? Is there something new you are beginning to understand about the Lord or do you feel like this is just old news and your just reading the bible yet another time? Be honest with yourself. It is okay – this isn’t a question for you to put out to the public, but one between you and the Lord.
Today spend some time in silence asking the Lord to reveal something to you about Himself that you maybe knew but never understood. Ask Him to show you a characteristic in your life that represents Christ as well. And if you don’t hear anything, ask the Lord if there are changes He would like you to make so that you can be a better representative of who He is to those in the world, and in the church.

What I was honestly thinking as I read this was about how when the tabernacle moved from place to place it had to be super heavy to carry. I am sure there were somethings put on carts – but most of it had poles attached that they carried around – and the small items were often carried on top of the bigger items. Sometimes they would pack up only to reset the tent in just a day or two. That makes their travel in the wilderness even that much more crazy to me.

I’ve been enjoying the moments of silence with the Lord. I do feel a little uncomfortable asking him to show me good things anout myself. It makes me feel like I’m bragging or something. I learned this morning that my genuine love for others and my empathy is christlike. I hope I can continue using these gifts for his glory.
