The tabernacle in the sinai desert is physically set apart by a series of outer curtains. As an a proto temple space, or sacred space, this was seen in ancient israel as god's dwelling. This is his tent and so there can be a lot of language in these exodus and leviticus chapters about god dwells with his people in his tent. Later on, the stationary, permanent temple in jerusalem will be referred to as the house of the god of israel. So this idea of seeing temple space as the meeting of heaven and earth, this is where israel comes to commune with the god of Israel.
Where do ancient Near East and modern Western culture meet? Dr. Matthew Grey explores how knowledge and origins of the ancient Israelite temple worship help inform our modern temple language by helping us learn the language of temple worship.
