More info requested on The Tabernacle

ModeratorAggie was kind enough to answer a question of mine that managed togo to him personally rather than to the board, so I hope this time I get the destination  right.  I understand that The Tabernacle can accomadate one Artifact, but a couple of cards seem to imply that several of those buggers will fit in there.  Eleazar Son of Aaron allows "you may activate a DIFFERENT artifact in your Tabernacle".  How can I get another one in the Tabernacle when the note on Tabernacle states that I can only have one in there?  I'm told I can remove the active artifact from the tabernacle in the preparation Phase--can I also load one or more non-active ones into it?  Another card, Ithanna, Son of Aaron lets one "search ...for The Tabernacle and put it in play."  AND "you may activate AN artifact on the Tabernacle."  The use of the article "an" makes me think I have a choice, which again leads me to think I can somehow get more than one artifact in my Tabernacle.  I have chalked this up to the thousands of cards in the game, and maybe some of them allow the Tabernacle to house multiple artifacts, but if true, I'd like to get a list of these cards.  And if NOT true, I'm just confused and am asking for help in understanding the Tabernacle fortress.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Part of activating the new Artifact includes deactivating any Artifact currently in that location. So Eleazar and Ithamar replace the Artifact on the Tabernacle, rather than activating an additional Artifact there.

The holds ability is pretty strict - if it says 1 active Artifact, it means 1 active Artifact - not inactive Artifacts, or multiple active Artifacts.

There is a way to kind of get 2 Artifacts on the Tabernacle, but it's specific to Book of the Covenant, which itself holds 2 Covenants. So you can get 3 Artifacts "in" the Tabernacle, but for game functionality the 2 Covenants are considered "in" Book of the Covenant, not the Tabernacle itself. Other than something like that, I don't think there's a way to get multiple Artifacts in a location.

To add to what Aggie stated, and to your quotes in the OP, if those abilities were worded “you may activate an additional artifact,” then you could have a second or more in it. But since game rule is only one art per legal location then it would just switch out the current artifact with the one you’re now activating.
