Building the Tabernacle (Bible Stories for Children)

The text is primarily taken from the Bible (World English Bible). Moses ascends Mount Sinai and receives specific instructions for building the Tabernacle. When Moses returns to the camp, he tells the people about building the Tabernacle and the people give generously. God’s directions are carefully followed, and Moses blesses the people upon the completion of the Tabernacle, where God will dwell among the people. The Tabernacle points to Jesus as our savior, the bread of life, and the light of the world. The book ends with questions, a song to reinforce the story, and a closing prayer. The book can be used as a read-aloud story for preschool or early elementary children.
