Jewish Tabernacle

After the last preparatory work was finished, almost an entire year after the departure of the Israelistes from Egypt, came the final ceremony of erecting the Jewish Tabernacle, God's temple in the wilderness.  This marvelous structure had to be so arranged that it could all be taken down when Israel marched, and promptly set up again wherever the tribes might camp. It's tendance was an enormous task, and Moses selected from the tribes of Israel one entire tribe to serve in transporting the tabernacle and its contents.

The tribe Moses selected was his own, the men who had rallied to his side on the day of Israel's desertion, the sons of Levi.  Thus the Levites became in time a set of men apart, attendants upon God, the priesthood of Israel.  Aslo the Levites now took the chief part in raising the tabernacle, while all the people of Israel gathered round to celebrate the completion of the mighty work.
