What Does Exodus 36:15 Mean?
These outer curtains were slightly longer than the inner ones—about 45 feet compared to the inner curtains' 42 feet. This extra length allowed the tent covering to extend beyond the inner structure, providing weather protection for the walls beneath.
The consistent size of all eleven outer curtains ensured proper coverage and even tension when assembled. This dimensional precision meant no weak points where rain or wind could penetrate.
