Exodus 25-28

God gave Moses such detail about how to build the Tabernacle, and it sounds like it was really beautiful--fine cloth and embroidery in deep colors, gold, bronze, accacia wood, skins. Why was it supposed to be so attractive? What was the lesson for the people involved in building it? The lesson for the people worshipping there? The lesson for curious foreigners? The lesson for us today? Does this or does this not have bearing on how we should construct our places of worship? Why?
