Exodus 26:7-14: The Coverings of the Tabernacle

These verses explain how to make the coverings that protected the tabernacle. The coverings were made of different materials and provided both beauty and protection. The inner curtains were beautiful, but the outer coverings looked plain and rough. This design reminds us that God often values what is inside more than what people see on the outside. The coverings also show that God protects what is holy with His care.

v. 7-11: The first covering over the tabernacle was made of eleven curtains of goats’ hair. These curtains were larger than the inner ones and were joined together with fifty loops and fifty bronze clasps. Even though the material was simple, the curtains were joined strongly and covered the beautiful inner curtains to protect them (Exodus 26:7-11 a).
