From the time of Moses to the time of David, the Tabernacle that was built at Sinai by the command of God was a dominant feature of the spiritual scene in Israel. At first moving with the people as they travelled in the wilderness and in the early days of the wars of Canaan then set up permanently at Shiloh during the time of the Judges; at Nob, not far from Jerusalem 1 Samuel 21; moved to Gibeon, 2 Chronicles 1:3, 6; the tabernacle was the focal point of the worship of God for over 400 years.
