THEOSISWlastow G.K.
The goat from the wilderness predominantly produces black wool today. It remains unclear what type of wool was used for the curtains that constituted the actual Tabernacle, which were likely extended over the stakes with ropes, as noted previously. However, it is worth mentioning that there exists a viewpoint among certain scholars (such as Dom Calmet) suggesting that the tabernacle's tents were crafted from fabric, most likely fastened to stakes with ropes.

Some argue that the coverings were merely laid over the top of the wooden framework of the Tabernacle like a lid; yet, this perspective does not align with the nomadic lifestyle that recognized the tent as an ideal shelter in the wilderness, nor does it match the elegance evident in the Tabernacle’s description or the necessary ventilation for the space, since the lamps would not function properly if three thick layers were laid over it instead of maintaining its high tent structure. It is also noteworthy that rather than having ten inner covering curtains, eleven curtains of goat’s hair were created, presumably to obscure the tent’s rear side in the Holy of Holies (as referenced in verse 12). The goats’ hair fabric extends across the Tabernacle by two cubits beyond the more ornate material, which translates to an additional three feet.
