Setting Up the Tabernacle

It was the wilderness, a desolate wasteland. No one was around except the people of Israel.

This is how God chose to anoint the Tabernacle. Moses and the people had built and designed

it according to everything the LORD had instructed them. Keep this in mind, Israel was in

the wilderness, they were defining themselves as a nation outside of Egypt. They had been

preoccupied with surviving, and the LORD had given them everything to survive. Now Israel

was commanded to build and set up a Tabernacle for God. Remember the way God had

provided for them with water and food was a true miracle. It was amazing! Aaron and his sons,

the priests, were also required to be dedicated and anointed for service to the LORD. Exodus

40 gives the directions and instructions of how they erected and arranged the Tabernacle of

the LORD in the wilderness.
