Tabernacle
The term "Tabernacle" refers to the sacred structure described in the Bible, particularly in Exodus, which served as a portable dwelling place for the divine presence among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. This temporary sanctuary, built according to God's specifications (Exodus 25-27), foreshadowed the more permanent structures—the first and second temples (1 Kings 6; )—that would later be erected in Jerusalem to house the Ark of the Covenant. Additionally, the New Testament extends the concept of the temple to believers, describing them as temples of the Holy Spirit (), emphasizing the spiritual dwelling of God within individuals rather than in physical structures made by human hands ().
