@Bonez aka Clare THE TABERNACLE TEST Find the ORIGINAL source. What did “tabernacle” mean? Was a particular depth specified? What jurisdiction? Who owned/held the land? Could it be alienated? Was it held of anybody? Was it ecclesiastical, sacred, consecrated or genuinely allodial? What statute, charter, canon, case or ancient authority created the rule? Was it later repealed or superseded? Does any part survive today? The Tabernacle Test: tracing the original source The first question is one of identification: what historical or legal institution is meant by “the Tabernacle”? The word has several distinct meanings, and the legal conclusions change depending on which one is intended. The sources I found point to three possibilities: - The biblical Tabernacle — the portable sanctuary described in Exodus. - A church or religious building called a tabernacle, potentially subject to ecclesiastical law or a specific property statute. - A purported category of land tenure in which land is said to be sacred, outside ordinary jurisdiction, or held allodially. The third possibility needs particular scrutiny. A genuine historical land-tenure rule should be traceable to a primary source, such as a statute, charter, deed, judgment, canon, or identifiable ancient legal text. The word tabernacle, by itself, does not establish a separate estate in land or immunity from ordinary law. The established linguistic starting point is Latin tabernaculum, meaning a tent or hut. The historical English dictionary and the Encyclopaedia Britannica entry trace the word's religious use to the biblical sanctuary. Etymology, Origin & Meaning +2 1. What did “tabernacle” mean? The primary linguistic source is the Latin tabernaculum, a tent or temporary shelter. In biblical usage it refers particularly to the sanctuary associated with Moses and the Israelites. The relevant original textual source is Exodus 25–27 and 35–40, which describe the sanctuary, its furnishings, materials and construction. See the historical account in the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannicaentry on the Tabernacle.

1. Executive finding Finding: NOT ESTABLISHED. The evidence located does not establish that tabernacle was a distinct legal category of land tenure, a form of allodial ownership, a source of sovereign jurisdiction, or a status that exempted land from ordinary civil authority. The word has biblical, religious, architectural and institutional meanings. A religious institution called a Tabernacle can own land, hold it on charitable trusts, or receive statutory powers concerning property. Those legal consequences arise from the relevant deed, trust, charter, statute or other recognised source of law—not from the word tabernacle by itself. Three distinctions are essential: - Biblical: the Tabernacle is a sanctuary associated with Israel's worship and religious law. - Ecclesiastical: churches and religious institutions may have consecrated premises, ecclesiastical rules, or property held for religious purposes. - Civil law: land ownership, possession, inheritance, transfer and jurisdiction depend on the applicable legal system and its recognised authorities. None of these categories, without further evidence, establishes allodial ownership or immunity from civil jurisdiction. The investigation must therefore distinguish a documented use of the word from a documented legal rule. It must also distinguish the earliest evidence found from the earliest use that can actually be proved to have existed. 2. Earliest identifiable sources and what they establish A. Biblical source: Exodus 25:8–9 Source type: biblical text · Religious and historical context, not a civil land-title instrument Original accessible text: Exodus 25:8–9, King James Version Exact quotation: “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.” Reference: Exodus 25:8–9, King James Version. The passage is part of the biblical account of instructions for constructing the sanctuary.

Sat here wondering what I done wrong again ?
