Church Architecture and Iconography
During these same days, God gave Moses commandments
concerning the building of the tabernacle: of what it should be made, and how;
and the vessels they should make for the sanctuary, and the commandments
concerning the holy oil, the incense, and the priestly sacrifice. By saying to
him: "You shall make everything according to the model of the tabernacle
that I will show you," he first called it a model and a temporal
tabernacle, to indicate that it was transitory and that it would be replaced by
the church, the perfect prototype which lasts forever, and so that they would
esteem it because of the likeness to the heavenly tabernacle. St. Ephrem the Syrian, Commentary on Exodus.
