for the tent over the tabernacle
on Exodus 36:14-19
The second covering is goats' hair, eleven curtains against the ten below, and the text calls it a tent where the linen beneath it is the tabernacle. Its taches are cast in brass where the inner taches were gold, so the metal grades plainer the further out it sits, and the same grading runs all the way to the sockets in verse 38. Over both go rams' skins dyed red and badgers' skins, and no measurement is given for either, so the layer the camp actually saw is the one described least.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
God has provided for his people a shadow from the heat, and a covert from storm and rain, Isa. iv. They are armed against all weathers; the sun and the moon shall not smite them: and they are protected from the storms of divine wrath, that hail which will sweep away the refuge of lies, Isa. xxviii.
