God's Protective Shelter

All commentators agree that the central image of the 'pavilion' or 'tabernacle' is one of divine protection. Just as a physical shelter shields a person from scorching heat and violent storms, God promises to be a constant and reliable refuge for His people amidst the various dangers and calamities of life.
