What does the Bible say about the tabernacle covering?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the tabernacle covering as made of goat's hair, rams' skins, and badger's skin, symbolizing Christ as our covering.

The tabernacle covering, as detailed in Exodus 26, was made of goat's hair and included layers of rams' skins and badger's skin. This covering represents Christ, who serves as our only means of worship and approach to God. The goat's hair signifies our need for a sacrifice, akin to Christ who was unattractive in His humanity, reflecting Isaiah 53's description of Him as 'having no form or comeliness.' The rams' skins remind us of God's provision of a substitute, while the badger's skin represents Christ's righteousness covering our sin. This reveals how the tabernacle is not merely a structure but a profound representation of Christ Himself in the intricate details of His redemptive work.
