The tabernacle

Exodus 26:7-37
Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Put the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. Place the Table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
Ark of the Covenant(Testimony)/Covenant Box: This is a wooden chest with carrying poles, covered with gold and measuring about 1.22m x 76cm x 76cm. 'Testimony conveys the underling idea of witness, and the Ark contained the two small stone writing-table on which the 'ten words' were recorded; also a pot of manna, and later Aaron's staff. The 'cherubim' were most likely human-faced winged sphinxes representing God's messenger-spirits. The Ark was the visible symbol of God's presence.


How?
Today the Tabernacle is in our heart, worship the Lord with heart and spirit.
