the tabernacle. The tabernacle might either be called a house or a tent, because it had wooden walls and partitions like a house, and curtains and hangings like a tent; but as it externally resembled a common oblong tent, and the wooden walls were without a roof, and properly only supports for the many curtains and hangings spread over them, it is more properly called a tent. Even the ordinary tents of the Arabs have at least two main divisions; the innermost for the women, and hence called sacred, i.e., cut off, inaccessible. In the tent of an {emir} the innermost space is accessible to himself only, or those whom he particularly honours; into the outer tent others may come. The furniture is costly, the floor covered with a rich carpet, and has a stand with a censer and coals, on which incense is strewed. Hence we have the simple idea after which this magnificent royal tent of Jehovah, the King and God of the Hebrews, was made.

CONCLUDING REMARKS.
Moses was undoubtedly the author of this Book, which forms a
continuation of the preceding, and was evidently written after
the promulgation of the law: it embraces the history of about
145 years. Moses, having in the Book of Genesis described the
creation of the world, the origin of nations, and the peopling
of the earth, details in the Book of Exodus the commencement and
nature of the Jewish Church and Polity, which has very properly
been termed a Theocracy, (Theokratia, from
[Theos g2316,] God, and
[krate� g2902,] to rule,) in which Jehovah
appears not merely as their Creator and God, but as their King.
Hence this and the following books of Moses are not purely
historical; but contain not only laws for the regulation of
their moral conduct and the rites and ceremonies of their
religious worship, but judicial and political laws relating to
government and civl life. The stupendous facts connected with
these events, may be clearly perceived by consulting the
marginal references; and many of the circumstances are confirmed
by the testimony of heathen writers. Numenius, a Pythagorean
philosopher, mentioned by Eusebius, speaks of the opposition of
the magicians, whom he calls Jannes and Jambres, to the miracles
of Moses. Though the names of these magicians are not preserved
in the Sacred Text, yet tradition had preserved them in the
Jewish records, from which St. Paul (2; Ti 3:8.) undoubtedly
quotes. Add to this that many of the notions of the heathen
respecting the appearance of the Deity, and their religious
institutions and laws, were borrowed from this book; and many of
their fables were nothing more than distorted traditions of
those events which are here plainly related by Moses.
