The goat from the wilderness now primarily produces black fleece. We are unable to ascertain the specific type of wool used for the curtains that comprised the main structure of the Tabernacle. It is likely that these curtains were affixed to stakes using ropes, as previously mentioned. However, it is noteworthy that some scholars, such as Dom Calmet, suggest that the coverings for the Tabernacle were composed of fabric, likely secured by ropes to the stakes, and simply laid over the wooden framework like a box. This interpretation, however, does not align with the nomadic tradition that recognized tents as the preferred shelter in the wilderness, nor does it reflect the sense of beauty evident in the detailed description of the Tabernacle.

Additionally, the necessity for proper ventilation is important; if multiple thick layers were draped over it, the lamps within would extinguish due to the lack of air, contradicting the design's intention. It is also worth mentioning that instead of using ten inner curtains, eleven curtains made from goat hair were created, likely to obscure the tent’s rear at the back of the Holy of Holies. The goat hair cloth extends across the tabernacle, measuring two cubits longer than the finer fabric, which amounts to three feet.
