Notes

Exodus 29:42–46

The purpose of the Tent of Meeting (the tabernacle), the priesthood, and the sacrificial system was to help people have fellowship with God. Fellowship means a close relationship. The Lord would meet with his people there (29:42, 43). He would live among them as their God (29:45, 46).
