In this episode, Sam and Will explore what the tabernacle was and why God asked Moses to build it after leading the Israelites out of Egypt. You'll learn how the tabernacle was a portable tent that allowed God to dwell with His people for the first time since the Garden of Eden. They break down the layout of the tabernacle, from the outer courtyard for sacrifices to the inner room where God's presence lived. You'll also discover what the Ark of the Covenant is, what was inside it, and how the yearly blood sacrifice on its lid provided atonement for Israel's sins. This is a great starting point if you've ever wondered how God related to His people in the Old Testament. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
