* the tabernacle.
The tabernacle might either be called a house or a tent,
because it had wooden walls and partitions like a house, and
curtains and hangings like a tent; but as it externally
resembled a common oblong tent, and the wooden walls were
without a roof, and properly only supports for the many
curtains and hangings spread over them, it is more properly
called a tent. Even the ordinary tents of the Arabs have at
least two main divisions; the innermost for the women, and
hence called sacred, i.e., cut off, inaccessible. In the
tent of an {emir} the innermost space is accessible to
himself only, or those whom he particularly honours; into the
outer tent others may come. The furniture is costly, the
floor covered with a rich carpet, and has a stand with a
censer and coals, on which incense is strewed. Hence we have
the simple idea after which this magnificent royal tent of
Jehovah, the King and God of the Hebrews, was made.
