The Tabernacle was a construction of various pieces and parts that formed a mobile tent complex.
It even had a fence and gate to keep out unintended visitors.

The Ark of the Covenant was inside when the Israelites were wandering out in the desert...

And we are accustomed to referring to the Tabernacle as a thing, a place but not a verb.

How would you use this word as a verb?
What kind of activities would this verb intend?

Why did you not go first to give people a better idea of what you were seeing to even bring up the question?

Tabernacle:

!kXm Mishkan (mish-kawn'); Noun Masculine, Strong #: 4908

  1. dwelling place, tabernacle
    1. dwelling-place
    2. dwellings
KJV Word Usage and Count
tabernacle 119
dwelling 9
habitation 5
dwellingplaces 3
place 1
dwelleth 1
tents 1

Booth:

hkko Cukkah (sook-kaw'); Noun Feminine, Strong #: 5521

  1. thicket, covert, booth
    1. thicket
    2. booth (rude or temporary shelter)
KJV Word Usage and Count
tabernacle 12
booth 11
pavilion 5
cottage 1
covert 1
tents 1

Perhaps your reference comes from the time of "boothing it" [tabernacling it?]

Le 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.

"Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows 1of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God" Lev 23:39-43

How do we 'booth it' or 'tabernacle it' today? Perhaps putting on a better covering now available as per Paul: "the whole armor of God" [Eph 6:11] or perhaps entering into a new 'house' [mansion as per John 14:2] is what one might now call tabernacling?

Now it is certainly your turn to amplify or clarify or correct.

This isn't about the Feast of Booths.

That's a completely different subject from what I'm discussing.

This is a reference to New Testament interlinear translation and the Early Latin term "Tabernacling".

It was Commonly and to refer to the activities in Heaven by the "redeemed".

You still have not made clear what your subject is. You speak of Latin but you did not supply even a single Latin word. I do have a Latin Bible, but you have given me nothing to add to the nothing I apparently already have. If you want a discussion you really need to clarify what it is you want to discuss.

Speaking for yourself, I think . . .

This world is not my home, I'm just passing through.

John the Apostle used it as a verb . . .

As He is, so are we in this world.

Much love!

@amadeus...
Ok....I have uploaded an image to a media folder on this forum...I tagged you in the comments and now you can see.

Oz might be able to give some insight as well. He knows a lot about Greek and Early Latin as well.

Thank you for your effort, but it would have simplified it if you had given us the English version. I don't get into the original languages much and really did not have a clue as to what you were talking about. Below are three verses from the KJV with the words you apparently are considering in underlined blue.

"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev 21:2-4

I don't pretend to be an expert in the original languages, so I won't get into that with you. You need to learn to express your purpose better in your OP for the benefit of everyone.

Dwell:

skhnovw Skenoo (skay-no'-o);
Word Origin: Greek, Verb, Strong #: 4637

  1. to fix one's tabernacle, have one's tabernacle, abide (or live) in a tabernacle (or tent), tabernacle
  2. to dwell
KJV Word Usage and Count
dwell 5

You should try to make the connection between the usage in Rev 21:3 and the one I copied in post #2 from Leviticus. Does it really have nothing to do with your OP?

Thank you for your trouble and now I leave you to it. May God richly bless you as you strive to approach Him more closely!

Well,
It was this section and I seen another one where the olde English was "bent/broken" to express this sentiment of "Tabernacling" instead of "to dwell" which is obviously available in Elizabethan English...

And I was just thinking about the sorts of things that people...the regular people did in the Tabernacle.

Besides the obvious of worship...

Singing and celebrating came to mind.

They would have family feasts and celebrations there...

Lots of prayers...
Harps AKA banjo music...for fun, happy songs. Celebrities would be there too.

Just thinking about it.

While I might generally agree with this post, some things could cause misunderstanding or confusion such as the word, "celebrities". The lack of clear communication between even believers is definitely involved in the Body of Christ Not being ready yet to fulfill all of God's purposes. Who would or should be included among the celebrities? People have very different ideas of what a "celebrity" . For some Jesus is a celebrity while others will think first of their favorites sports heroes or Hollywood stars.

There are a couple of ways to read this, based on the different uses of "kai", which either adds, "and", or explains, "even". Called the Copulative use, or the Expletive Use.

So then this is saying either . . .

To blaspheme the Name of Him, and the tabernacle of Him, and the ones tabernacling in heaven.

. . . or . . .

To blaspheme the Name of Him, and the tabernacle of Him, even the ones tabernacling in heaven.

Who might be identified as "God's tabernacle"?

Much love!

Much love!

God will dwell [tabernacle] with you or me under what circumstances?

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Rev 3:20-21

How should two people dwell together in a house/home?

"It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house." Prov 25:24

When I first married my wife, she was by all accounts, including her own, one of those "brawling women". I tried to be patient and tolerant but it became impossible. I was too soft for her and she was too hard for me. With two toddlers in the home loved by both of us it was just about over in less than 4 years. Then we both opened the Door to our hearts when the Lord came knocking. This last June we celebrated [there is that word] 48 years of marriage. Last month our 2nd great grandchild was born. God dwells [tabernacles] now is in us and in our home. He made the difference that we were unable to make without Him in spite of our love for our children.
