Tabernacle initially means "tent", or place of dwelling, in this instance, the place where God lives. I looked for a Biblical source to define the Tabernacle, and actually found the clearest description in Wikipedia. I believe the biblical definition is in Exodus chapters 35-40, Remember though, the Tabernacle is meant to encompass what is actually held in your heart.
