The Tabernacle presents God’s instruction to Moses for building a holy tent where God could live among His people. It emphasizes careful obedience to a revealed pattern and describes key furnishings and construction elements. Wooden frames covered with gold are set in silver bases, while an intricately woven curtain of twisted linen with blue, purple, and red thread divides the interior into the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, creating reverence and order for worship.

A special thanks to the 50+ unnamed people who worked on the story scripts, templates, adapted illustrations and music. The Lord said to Moses, "The people must make a tabernacle, a holy tent for me. Then I can live among them.” “Make the tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you. " So the people carefully followed God’s instructions to Moses for making the Tabernacle. The tabernacle was made with wooden frames covered with gold and set in bases made of silver. A beautiful curtain was woven from twisted linen and decorated with blue, purple and red thread. The curtain was hung inside the tabernacle to separate it into two rooms. The first room was called the Holy Place and the room behind the curtain was called the Most Holy Place.
