<P> The main source for the account of the construction of the Tabernacle is the biblical Book of Exodus , specifically Exodus 25 -- 31 and 35 -- 40 . It describes an inner shrine , the Holy of Holies , which housed the Ark of the Covenant , which was held up under the veil of the covering suspended by four pillars and an outer chamber ( the `` Holy Place '' ) , containing a beaten gold reflector impressed into what is generally described as a lamp - stand or candlestick featuring a central shaft incorporating four almond - shaped bowls and six branches , each with three bowls shaped like almonds and blossoms , 22 in all . It was standing diagonally , partially covering a table for showbread and with its seven oil lamps over against it to give light along with the altar of incense . </P>
