Editing Tabernacle (section)

==Plan==
During the [[The Exodus|Exodus]], the [[Moses#The years in the wilderness|wandering in the desert]] and the [[Book of Joshua#Entry into the land and conquest (chapters 2–12)|conquest of Canaan]], the Tabernacle was in part a portable tent, and in part a wooden enclosure draped with ten curtains, of blue (''[[tekhelet]]'' תְּכֵלֶת), purple (''’argāmān'' אַרְגָּמָן), and scarlet (''šānî'' שָׁנִי) fabric. It had a rectangular, perimeter fence of fabric, poles and staked cords. This rectangle was always erected when the Israelite tribes would camp, oriented to the east as the east side had no frames. In the center of this enclosure was a rectangular sanctuary draped with goat-hair curtains, with the roof coverings made from rams' skins.<ref name="EncJewish" />

===Holy of Holies===
Beyond this curtain was the cube-shaped inner room, the ''Kodesh Hakedashim'' ([[Holy of Holies]]). This area housed the [[Ark of the Covenant]], inside which were the two stone tablets brought down from Mount Sinai by Moses on which were written the [[Ten Commandments]], a golden urn holding the ''[[manna]]'', and [[Aaron]]'s rod which had budded and borne ripe almonds ({{bibleverse||Exodus|16:33–34|ESV}}, {{bibleverse||Numbers|17:1–11|ESV}}, {{bibleverse||Deuteronomy|10:1–5|ESV}}; {{bibleverse||Hebrews|9:2–5|ESV}}).

===Tachash===
''Tachash'' is referred to fifteen times in the [[Hebrew Bible]];<ref>{{cite web |title=Parsha in depth: You shall make a covering ... of tachash skins |url=https://www.chabad.org/parshah/in-depth/plainBody_cdo/AID/1315 |website=Chabad}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Solomon (Dr. Rabbi) |first=Norman |title=What Was the Tachash Covering in the Tabernacle? |url=https://www.thetorah.com/article/what-was-the-tachash-covering-the-tabernacle |website=TheTorah.com}}</ref> 13 of these refer to the roof coverings.
