Conclusion of A Tent for Worship

Moses' brother Aaron is the one that Jehovah chooses to be the high priest.  He leads the people in worshiping Jehovah.  And his sons are priests too.

The bigger room in the tent is twice as big as the small one.  There is a little box, or chest, with some smoke going up from it?  This is the altar where the priests burn some sweet smelling stuff called incense.  Then there is the lampstand that has seven lamps. And the third thing in the room  is a table. On it are kept 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 around it.
