The Tabernacle was a tent
Purposefully made and meant
Specifically to be a sanctuary
Or a kind of portable
Temple, but demountable,
For the Israelites when stationary
For in the days when it was used
The people then called The Hebrews
Wandered through the wilderness a bit
But when they stopped up went the tent,
As said in the Old Testament,
While the cloud of God hovered above it!
A Tabernacle though these days
Is a box found on display
In a church which does contain within
Wine, the kind said to be red,
And the kind of crispy bread
That is used for the Holy Communion
That is though the tradition
Of the Catholic position
Which is unlike some other Christian types
To whom a tabernacle is
What a place of worship is
A church building or chapel if you like.
