Coverings of the Tabernacle

Glory
The Tabernacle Curtain (resurrection - Exo 26:1-6; Isa 53:11-12)
Grace
The Goats’ Hair (propitiation - Exo 26:7-13; Isa 53:9-10)
The Rams’ Skins Dyed Red (consecration - Exo 26:14; Isa 53:4-7)
The Badgers’ Skin (separation - Exo 26:14; Isa 53:2-3)
When sin first reared its ugly head
And forced the widening span,
Between the man who walked with God
And the God Who made the man...

With sense of sin came sense of shame-
The naked sought to hide;
Instead of peace and fellowship,
There came the Great Divide.

Infinite love was wounded sore,
And sought to bridge the span;
Crush out the penetrating gulf,
And walk again with man.

He sent His own Beloved Son-
He came, He bled, He died;
To reconcile, He paid the price,
And He bridged the Great Divide.
