What does the Bible say about the tabernacle and its coverings?

Answered in 2 sources

The tabernacle, described in Exodus 26, symbolizes the way to God through Jesus Christ, representing His sacrifice and holiness.

The tabernacle and its coverings, as outlined in Exodus 26, signify the presence of God among His people and detail a singular way to enter into that presence through Christ. The coverings, made of fine linen, goat hair, ram skins, and badger skins, illustrate various aspects of Jesus's character and mission. The blue, purple, and scarlet woven into the gate's tapestry highlight the divine nature, kingship, and sacrificial blood of Christ, while the badger skins depict His humility and ordinariness. Thus, these elements together point toward the Savior who mediates our relationship with the Holy God, emphasizing the importance of coming to Jesus as the only means of approach to God, showcasing His holiness and the sacrificial nature required for atonement.
