Welcome to the Tabernacle

Step back in time and explore the sacred place of worship and sacrifice that journeyed with the people of Israel through the desert and into the promised land.

The stunning desert backdrop of Timna Park is the setting for the full replica of the Tabernacle. While some have studied it at length, others may never have considered the depths of meaning found in each aspect of the Tabernacle. The model is fully based on the instructions given to the Israelites in the book of Exodus and aims to stay as true to scripture as possible.

We invite you to visit us, walk through the Tabernacle, and see the Bible come to life!

The LORD said to Moses, “Speak o the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me. And this is the contribution that you shall receive from them: gold, silver, and bronze, blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, goats’ hair, tanned rams’ skins, goatskins, acacia wood, oil for the lamps, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, onyx stones, and stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breast piece. And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it. Exodus 25:1-9

One of the highlights for Pilgrims visiting Israel for the first time is the experience of visiting the Tabernacle. As Pilgrims seek to connect their faith to Jewish roots, the Tabernacle offers an understanding of Jewish History that few sites can come close to.

Travel Agencies and Tour Guides are encouraged to make reservations via the Main Office at Timna Park.
