Etymology
The word 'tabernacled' derives from the Latin 'tabernaculum', which means 'a little tent' or 'a hut'. This term is connected to the Hebrew word 'mishkan', which referred to the portable sanctuary that was constructed by the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. The tabernacle served as a dwelling place for God among His people, and it was a central symbol of God's presence and guidance. Over time, 'tabernacle' evolved to denote any place of worship or spiritual dwelling, particularly in Christian traditions where the term is used to refer to the altar or sanctuary within a church. Thus, to 'tabernacle' signifies not only a physical dwelling but also a metaphorical sense of living within a sacred space.
