The Israelite Tabernacle at Shiloh
1200 BCE
As the nation of Israel was slowly settling into the land, G-d commanded them to establish His tabernacle – a dwelling place.
The Tabernacle, a portable tent of meeting, followed them throughout their journeys in the wilderness. Now that they were settling the land, a semi-permanent structure was built in Shiloh. The roof, made of material, stretched over walls of wood and brick.
Shiloh remained the location of the Tabernacle and center point of worship for the majority of years during the conquest of Israel.
