* covering.
26:14
* rams' skins dyed red.
This was the third covering of the tabernacle. The first and
lowermost was made of fine linen, richly embroidered with
figures of cherubim, in shades of blue, purple, and scarlet
(ver. 8-13). It is reasonable to suppose, that the right
side of this curtain was undermost, and so it formed a
beautiful ceiling in the inside of the tabernacle. The
second covering, which lay over the embroidered one, was made
of a sort of mohair, (ver. 14-17,) and the fourth, or
uppermost one, which was to keep the others from the weather,
was made of {tachash,} or badgers' skins.
