the tabernacle
The term "tabernacle" refers to the portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites as they journeyed through the wilderness. In Hebrew, it is "מִשְׁכָּן" (mishkan), meaning "dwelling place." The tabernacle was a central element in the Israelites' worship and symbolized God's presence among His people. It was meticulously designed according to divine specifications, reflecting the holiness and order of God. The tabernacle served as a precursor to the Temple in Jerusalem and ultimately points to Jesus Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14).

its tent
The "tent" refers to the outer covering of the tabernacle, made of fine linen and various animal skins. This structure provided protection and a sacred space for the Israelites to encounter God. The Hebrew word "אֹהֶל" (ohel) signifies a temporary dwelling, emphasizing the transient nature of the Israelites' journey and their reliance on God's guidance. The tent's design and materials were divinely ordained, symbolizing purity and separation from the profane.

and covering
The "covering" was an additional layer over the tent, made from ram skins dyed red and another layer of durable leather. This covering provided further protection and insulation, signifying God's provision and care. The Hebrew word "מִכְסֶה" (mikseh) implies a protective shield, reminding the Israelites of God's constant protection over them. The red dye of the ram skins can be seen as a foreshadowing of the sacrificial system and ultimately the sacrifice of Christ.

its clasps
Clasps were used to join the curtains of the tabernacle, ensuring its structural integrity. The Hebrew word "קֶרֶס" (qeres) indicates a hook or fastener. These clasps, made of gold, symbolize the unity and perfection of God's design. They remind us of the importance of unity in the body of Christ, where each part is joined together to form a holy dwelling for the Lord.

and frames
The "frames" were the wooden supports that formed the skeleton of the tabernacle. The Hebrew term "קֶרֶשׁ" (qeresh) refers to a board or plank. These frames, overlaid with gold, provided stability and structure, symbolizing the strength and permanence of God's covenant with His people. They also point to the foundational truths of the faith that uphold the church.

its crossbars
Crossbars were horizontal supports that held the frames together. The Hebrew word "בְּרִיחַ" (beriach) means bar or bolt. These crossbars, also overlaid with gold, ensured the tabernacle's stability and unity. They represent the strength and support found in the community of believers, bound together by love and truth.

posts
The "posts" were vertical supports for the entrance and curtains of the tabernacle. The Hebrew word "עַמּוּד" (amud) signifies a pillar or column. These posts, made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, symbolize the steadfastness and righteousness required to approach God. They remind us of the pillars of faith and the need for a firm foundation in Christ.

and bases
The "bases" were the silver sockets into which the posts and frames were set. The Hebrew term "אֶדֶן" (eden) refers to a pedestal or foundation. These bases provided stability and support, symbolizing the redemption and atonement provided by God. Silver, often associated with redemption, points to the price paid for our salvation through Christ's sacrifice.

Verse 11. - On the tabernacle, see Exodus 26:1-6; on the tent, ib, 7-13; on the covering, ib, 14; the boards, ib, 15-25; the bars, ib, 26-29; the pillars, ib, 32-37; and the sockets, ib, 19, 21, 25, 32, and 37. The enumeration comprises all the main parts of which the tabernacle consisted.
