Conclusion of A Tent for Worship

Now look at the bigger room of the tent. It is twice as big as the small room.  Do you see the box, or little chest, with some smoke coming up from it?  This is where the priests burn some sweet-smelling stuff called incense.  Then there is the lampstand that has seven lamps and third thing the in the room is a table. On it are 12 loaves of bread. 

In the yard of the tabernacle there is a big bowl, or basin, that is filled with water. The priests use it for washing. There is also the big altar.  Here the dead animals are burned as an offering to Jehovah. The tent is right in the middle of the camp, and the Israelites live in their tents all around it.
