Overview
Durable hides and acacia wood provided the coverings and structure of the tabernacle. Even these practical materials were dedicated wholly to God's service. The variety of gifts shows that every kind of resource has a place in building God's dwelling, just as every member contributes to Christ's church (1 Corinthians 12:4-7).
