The Tabernacle.—In its original form
the tabernacle was called simply the
"lent of meeting," in the sense of being
the place where Jehovah met with his
people, Israel, and their leader, Moses,
This first "tent" was probably similar to
olluse nettled tents made of camel's
heir, only larger and or somewhat su-
perior workmanship. This earliest pro-
visio»al sanctuary of the Hebrews seems
to have had no established ritual and no
prieethoed. It was pitched outside the
camp of !seed and ento it the peorle
went as to an oracle: "And it came to
pass that everyone that sought Jehovah
went out unto the tent of meeting, which
was without the camp.' The tabernacle
described Exod. 40 and preceding
chapters as constructed by Moses at the
command of Jehovah is often called the
Sinailic labernecle." Its epeclitc Hebrew
name translated "inbernaclo" means
