A lot is going on with the issue of the Tabernacle in Exodus and Leviticus--a lot.
As a working definition, we put this forward: the Tabernacle “might be” defined as the concrete space, sign, seal, symbol and instrument of grace—as the Word—where the realities of Divine justice, direction, grace, and mercy meet with the Divine dwelling in concrete time in history amongst a depraved, wicked, and fallen, but chosen and redeemed community, the covenanted objects and recipients of lovingkindnesses.
“And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell with them” (Ex. 25.8.)
Makeup of the Tabernacle, or, the materials:
Gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, byssus, goats’ hair, rams’ skins, dyed red, badgers’ skins, acacia wood, oil, spices, precious stones. Ex.25.1-9; 30.13-15; 35.3-29; 36.2-7
