Moses was given instructions as to how to build the tabernacle.This is recorded in the Book of Exodus.
Moses
The book of Exodus ends with the completion of the Tabernacle and the glory of the Lord filling it. Moses then enters the Tabernacle to speak with the Lord, symbolizing the presence of God among the people of Israel.
The Tabernacle (mishkan) stood during the 40 years in the wilderness and the era of the Judges. It was a place of worship to God. See Exodus ch.25-27.
After Moses assembled the Tabernacle, God's presence manifested itself in a Cloud of Glory (Exodus ch.40). Shortly after, when the first offerings were made by Aaron, God caused them to be consumed by a miraculous fire (Leviticus ch.9).
Some say God is everywhere; in that case He is on Earth, too.
The tabernacle was built according to the instructions given by God to Moses, with the help of skilled craftsmen and workers chosen by Moses. It was constructed by the Israelites during their time in the wilderness as a place of worship and to house the Ark of the Covenant.
AnswerThe Ancient Israelites built their kingdom in the Palestinian hinterland. Today, the Palestian territory of the West Bank is known to many Jews as "Judah and Samaria (Israel)".
During the 40 years in the wilderness, some of the miracles that God performed included providing manna for the Israelites to eat, bringing water from a rock, and guiding them with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. God also protected them from enemies and diseases, demonstrating His power and faithfulness to His people.
They set up 12 pillars (Exodus 24) and an altar.
Among the laws which Moses received from God at Mount Sinai were The Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.20). Also: laws concerning damages (Exodus ch.21), the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.25-27), kosher-laws (Leviticus ch.11), festivals (Leviticus ch.23), and many more.

The word "tabernacle" is from the Latin "tabernaculum", a kind of tent. The tabernacle described in the Torah (Exodus ch.25-27) was a sanctuary for the service of God, built in such a way as to be dismantled and transported when the Israelites decamped in the wilderness.
The Tabernacle (Exodus ch.25-27), and the Holy Temple (1Kings ch.6) were to be built with the most beautiful materials in order to exalt the name of God.
