Often, it is the success of a project that history records. When great
kings of antiquity built monuments to celebrate victories or to worship a pagan
god, we know nothing of the ordinary people who participated in the
construction. In fact, it is likely that these temples and monuments were built
by slaves who were forced to labor with great suffering to build a magnificent
structure at the whim of their master. Not so the Tabernacle. It is a simple
structure constructed of items easily found in ordinary households – fabrics and
skins and jewelry. And Scripture stresses that it is built through donations,
simple items brought by ordinary people, as their hearts and spirits moved them,
to take part in the building of a structure that would serve as their center of
worship, their vehicle to reach God. Learn more in The Israel Bible, containing
the original Hebrew text and a classic English translation, alongside commentary
to better illustrate the significance of the Land of Israel.
