The first mention of the word 'tabernacle' is in The Bible by Moses. It reads, "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle,..." (Ex. 25:8 & 9)
The tabernacle was the portable dwelling place for the divine presence from the time of the Exodus from Egypt through the conquering of the land of Canaan. Built to specifications revealed by God (Yahweh) to Moses at Mount Sinai, it accompanied the Israelites on their wanderings in the wilderness and their conquest of the Promised Land. The First Temple in Jerusalemsuperseded it as the dwelling-place of God.
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S. Church), a tabernacle is a multipurpose religious building, used for church services and conferences, and as community centers. Tabernacles were typically built as endeavors of multiple congregations (termed wards or branches), usually at the stake level. They differ from meetinghouses and temples in design, scale, and purpose.
There were 79 total tabernacles built during the mid-to-late nineteenth and early twentieth century, usually within areas of the Mormon Corridor that had predominantly Latter-day Saint populations. The largest such tabernacle is in Salt Lake City on Temple Square. The last tabernacle commissioned by the church was the Ogden Stake Tabernacle, built in the 1950's.
While some tabernacles are still used for a few ecclesiastical and community cultural activities, stake centers are now normally used in their place. Many tabernacles have been demolished, sold, or renovated and repurposed into temples (e.g. Vernal Utah Temple, Provo Tabernacle).

The key differences between the earthly tabernacle and the heavenly tabernacle are that the earthly tabernacle was a physical structure built by humans for worship and sacrifices, while the heavenly tabernacle is a spiritual dwelling place of God. The earthly tabernacle was temporary and required constant maintenance, while the heavenly tabernacle is eternal and does not need upkeep. Additionally, the earthly tabernacle was a symbol or foreshadowing of the heavenly tabernacle, which is the true and perfect dwelling place of God.
