Week 18

THE TABERNACLE

The Tabernacle (the word means a tent) was to be the central point of worship for Israel in the wilderness. Into the Most Holy Place (see plan below), only the High Priest was allowed to enter, once a year, on the Day of Atonement, to seek forgiveness for the whole nation of Israel.

Jesus Christ fulfilled all the things that the law and tabernacle stood for.

LEVITICUS

Leviticus is the book about priests (from the tribe of Levi), offerings, and the importance of true worship.
