Save the dugong. See Exodus 25:1-5
Does it surprise you that God lives in a tent? Yes, it is a very elaborate tent, but it's still a tent. And the Ark, though it's very ornate and exquisitely appointed in gold, it, too, is mobile and strikes me as being somewhat understated for the Creator of the Universe.
I mean, if you're going to God's house don't you expect more?
In both cases - Tent of Meeting and Ark - God is mobile and on the move. We live in the tent of the body and He lives in the Tent of Meeting. Everything on this Earth is temporary and about activity and moving ahead instead of staying put and in once place. Because it's not just the Children of Israel who will wander for 40 years. God wanders with them.
Tell me, if you were God, would you go to the people or would you ask them to come to you?
This is an amazing God. Over and over again, He comes down to us and lives among us.
