This chapter tells of how the four coverings for the whole tabernacle, were to be made. All illustrate to us a different view of Christ.
V.1-6 The inside covering went over the 48 standing boards. The only way this magnificent covering could be seen was from the inside, and the priest would have to look up! Each brings to our thoughts the glories of Christ. Blue, the heavenly Man; purple, the royalty of Christ; and scarlet, His earthly glory (still to come).
