What matireal was the tabernacle made out of in the old testament?

Answer 1

There are several Mormon Tabernacles, but the most popular, the Tabernacle on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, is home of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

It is constructed almost entirely of sandstone, wood, glass, and cowhide with the exception of the metal roofing. Very few nails were used in it's construction because they were so rare in the old west, instead the wood planks were put together with wood pegs and tied with animal hides. The columns inside, while painted to look like marble, are actually wood. Many of the organs pipes are also wood covered in gold leafing.

Answer 2

In the construction of the the tabernacle and its vessels, the following materials were used (Exodus ch.25): gold, silver, and copper; blue, purple, and scarlet-dyed wool; spun linen, and goats' hair; rams' skins dyed red, and tachash skins; and beams of acacia-wood. In addition, oil was used for the candelabra, and certain spices were used for the anointing oil and for the incense (see Exodus ch.30). Certain precious stones were used on the breastplate (Exodus ch.28).

Answer 3

The building itself was wooden beams covered with gold. The roof was layers of cloth.
