Numbers 4:25 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 4:25

And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle
The ten curtains of fine linen, ( Exodus 26:1 ) ;

and the tabernacle of the congregation;
the curtains of goats' hair made for a tent over it, as Jarchi, see ( Exodus 26:7 ) ;

his covering the covering of rams skins dyed red,
( Exodus 26:14 ) ;

and the covering of the badgers' skins that [is] above upon it;
over all the rest:

and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
the eastern vail, as Jarchi calls it, which was for the door of the tent that led into the tabernacle, the holy place, ( Exodus 26:36 ) .
