Descripción
Sumario:The tabernacle narratives (Exod-Num) contain some of the most detailed descriptions of a physical space in the Hebrew Bible. The materials and furnishings of the portable tabernacle are meticulously listed, and the placement of objects is relatively consistent. In this contribution, I explore the stability created by organizing the tabernacle’s furnishings and focus on the tabernacle as a transitional phenomenon (Winnicott) created for a liminal forty-year period in the wilderness. I also explore how the tabernacle can be understood as an assemblage (Bennett) that reverberates with stability for the Israelites. Finally, I turn to the tabernacle as a virtual space that can establish order for the texts’ users and recipients.
