for the tent over the tabernacle
on Exodus 36:14-19
The second covering is goat hair, eleven curtains over the ten below, and its clasps are bronze where the inner clasps were gold. So the metal grades plainer the further out it sits.
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.
