18. tabernacle and ark
/ listen as you follow along /
God asked Moses to help the Israelites build a special tent ⛺️ called the tabernacle. This was like a beautiful, portable home 🏠 where people could worship God 🙌 while they traveled in the desert. 🏜️
God gave Moses very detailed instructions about how to make the tabernacle. ⛺️ He told Moses exactly what materials to use, like special fabrics, gold, silver, and bronze. The tent was going to be decorated beautifully, 😻 with colorful curtains and precious metals. 🤘
Inside the tabernacle, ⛺️ there was a very special box 🗃️ called the ark of the covenant. This was a golden box where the Israelites kept important things that reminded them of God's love ❤️ and promises. The box had two special 😇😇 statues on top called cherubim, which watched over it.
The tabernacle was like a special meeting place where the people could talk to God and show Him how much they loved 🥰 Him. Only special priests were allowed to go inside the most holy parts of the tent. 🏕️
God wanted the tabernacle to be made with love 💕 and care, just like He loved 🫶 the Israelites. Every piece was carefully crafted to show how special their relationship with God was.
