However, this all relates to the Mishkon itself, but there needs to be an Avodah from the human and that is why the Possuk states: אָדָם כִּי יַקְרִּיב מִּכֶם קָרְבָן לַה׳ “When a man from [among] you, brings a sacrifice to HaShem.”

In addition to that which the Mishkon served as a dwelling place for the Divine presence as the Possuk states: וְעָשׂוּ לִּי מִּקְדָש וְשָכַנְתִּי בְתוֹכָם “They shall make for Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in them”, the RaMBaM writes about another aspect regarding the Beis HaMikdosh: מִּצְוַת עֲשֵּׂה לַעֲשׂוֹת בַיִּת לַה' מוּכָן לִּהְיוֹת מַקְרִּיבִּים בוֹ הַקָרְבָנוֹת. “It is a positive obligation to build a house for HaShem where offerings may be brought.”
