What Does Exodus 36:14 Mean?
While the inner curtains created the sanctuary's walls, these outer goat-hair curtains would form a protective tent over the entire structure. Goat hair provided durability and weather resistance—practical materials for a covering that would shield the holy furnishings within.
The shift from ten inner curtains to eleven outer ones reflected the different function and scale of the outer covering. The extra curtain accommodated the structure's dimensional needs for adequate weather protection.
