There is an interesting article in 1894 Christadelphian entitled "The Two Tabernacles". One was the pattern of things to come (chp 26), and then there was this one which was pitched outside the camp (33:7).
The article developes the thought that the one we are more familiar with typifies Christ in the immortal state. The one in this chapter, typifies Christ at his first appearing.
In figurative language, a tabernacle (tent) used to represent the human body (2 peter 1:13 "As long as I am in this tabernacle").
We find is “that every one who sought the Lord went out unto the tent of meeting which was without the camp.” In Heb. 13:12, 13, we read, “Wherefore Jesus also that he might sanctify the people with his own blood suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,”
I've not considered this before. Any thoughts?

When the first day of the first month in the second year arrived, all the materials for the new and beautiful tabernacle were ready, having been carefully fashioned, in all their elaborate detail, according to the pattern shown to Moses in the Mount. God commanded Moses to rear it up, and when the process was completed, God condescended to return to the midst of Israel. His glory filled the tabernacle, and abode upon it (Ex. 40:34–38).
Appears they used the tent outside the tabernacle for a year before the tabernacle was constructed in the center of the people.
