We have been learning about the tabernacle in our Tapestry of Grace studies.
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. (Ex. 25:8)
We built a model tabernacle to reinforce our learning and I think this was our most fun project ever!
Our model
The altar and the laver
And thou shalt make an altar … and thou shalt overlay it with brass. (Ex. 27:1-2)
Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and his foot [also of] brass, to wash [withal]: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.(Ex 30:18)
The tabernacle with the badger skin covering
Under the badger skins were rams’ skins dyed red
And thou shalt make a covering for the tent [of] rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above [of] badgers’ skins. (Ex 26:14)
These items are found inside the tent.
The golden lampstand
And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: (Ex. 25:31-32)
Table of Showbread
And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway. (Ex. 25:30)
The altar of incense
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon:(Ex 30:1)
The Ark of the Covenant
And they shall make an ark…And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. Ex 25:10-11
Inside the ark were the tablets with the 10 Commandments, Aaron’s rod, and a jar of manna.
Here are instructions for building the model tabernacle.
You guys are busy! What a great job!
too cool! i love hands on projects. they seem to take us all day to do them because we keep adding to them, but it's all worth it!!!
You are so crafty/artsy . I so love checking in to see all the great projects you are doing. Hope you guys have been doing well. I am so far behind on my blogging. I haven't been feeling very well lately. The doctor wants me to have a lot of lung test done to determine the breathing issues I am dealing with. We have gotten several days work caught up today.

did you follow any particular instructions for the tabernancle? Yours seems much easier to make and follow than I've seen on other togger's websites.
