How does the tabernacle relate to the concept of redemption?

Answered in 1 source

The tabernacle's rituals and design prefigure Christ's redemptive work, emphasizing that the Old Testament sacrifices pointed to His ultimate sacrifice.

The tabernacle is an intricate system of symbols that ultimately points toward the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. While the sacrifices performed in the tabernacle were intended for atonement, they were powerless to save on their own (Hebrews 10:4). Instead, they served as shadows of the ultimate sacrifice: Christ's death on the cross. As detailed in Hebrews 9:14, Christ offered Himself without spot to God, accomplishing the redemption that the tabernacle sacrifices could not. Thus, the tabernacle's design reflects God's redemptive plan, culminating in Christ's sacrifice for the sins of His people.
