And thou shalt make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
The command to make eleven curtains of goats' hair for a covering upon the tabernacle was part of God's instructions to Moses for building the tabernacle. That covering belonged to a portable structure made to be taken apart and borne with Israel in all their journeyings. Though portable, it was of extraordinary magnificence, with walls of upright boards heavily plated with purest gold, and with its sacred building divided into two apartments by a rich and beautiful curtain or veil, while a similar veil closed the entrance of the first apartment. Its veils and the curtain forming the ceiling were of a variety of colors most beautifully arranged, and inwrought with threads of gold and silver into cherubim, to represent the angelic host connected with the work of the heavenly sanctuary as ministering angels to the saints upon the earth. The specifications including the curtains were communications from God, and the skill and wisdom used to carry them out were gifts from God to be used for His glory.
