God wanted to live close to His people. He told Moses, “Build me a special tent.”
The people brought gifts: gold, silver, soft cloth, and wood. Everyone helped!
Inside the tent would be a beautiful gold box called the Ark of the Covenant. It would hold God's commandments. God's tent would be right in the middle of their camp.
