tabernacles
Sacred mobile dwellings
Tabernacles is the plural of tabernacle, a word for a dwelling place or tent, especially one used for worship.
In Jewish tradition, the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) commemorates the temporary shelters Israelites used during their wilderness wanderings.
The Tabernacle, capitalized and singular, refers specifically to the portable sanctuary described in Exodus that housed the Ark of the Covenant.
In broader religious use, a tabernacle may be any house of worship or a container for sacred objects.
