exodus 25
Exodus 25:2:
“Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. |

Exodus 25:8:
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. |
The Tabernacle had to be a portable structure, for Israel had not yet reached their home in the new land. They were pilgrims in a foreign land. Today, we also have a portable place of worship: "For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (II Corinthians 6:16).
