and a basin for washing. This is where the priests worked most often. |

was a reminder that Yahweh was always with them. |
||||||||
The most important place was the tent itself. It was constructed with |
|
|||||||
a wooden frame and covered with animal skins. Inside the tabernacle | ||||||||
were tapestries and a veil dividing the space in half. A table was | ||||||||
placed in front of the veil where the offering bread was laid. On the | ||||||||
other side of the veil was the Ark of the Covenant which contained | ||||||||
the Ten Commandments. During the time of the Judges, when the | ||||||||
Israelites lived in the promised land, the Tabernacle was set up in a | ||||||||
permanent spot called Shiloh. It became the Israelite's center of | ||||||||
worship. Familes visited the Tabernacle every year to worship and | ||||||||
make offerings to Yahweh. The Tabernacle must have been a | ||||||||
spectacular sight to behold! | ||||||||

Did Moses Go to School?
|
||||||||
When Moses was a baby, his mother saved him from certain death by placing him in a waterproof basket and floating him down the river Nile. Pharaoh’s daughter found him and raised him as her own child. In fact, the Bible tells us that Moses grew up in the Palace of Pharaoh.
While we don’t have many details of Moses’ childhood, we do know that as an adopted grandson of Pharaoh, he would have been schooled by the best instructors in all of Egypt. The library of Egypt was one of the greatest in all of the ancient world. There were literally thousands of scrolls on medicine, science, and history.
|
||||||||
Regrettably, there were also countless books on magic as Egypt had numerous magicians. In the ancient world, Egypt was a center of business. Moses probably seen and heard things that most people would never experience in their entire lifetimes, as merchants from distant lands brought the most unusual items to sell in the marketplaces.
So Moses probably had an education fit for a prince! But Yahweh obviously had other plans for him. He used Moses to lead His people out of Egypt. As Moses grew into manhood, he learned that he had been adopted as a baby. What a shock it must have been to discover that he was not a prince, but actually the son of one of the Israelite slaves. Moses apparently was upset because he went out to where the slaves were working and saw an Egyptian whipping one of them. Moses angrily killed the Egyptian and hid his body in the sand. He knew he would be punished severely in Pharaoh’s court for his crime so he fled into the wilderness. |
