Study note
Setting — The narrative records the craftsmen executing the tabernacle construction under Moses’ direction, immediately after fashioning the gold clasps to unite the inner covering.
The words — יְרִיעֹת (ye.ri.'Ot) translates to "curtains of," and עִזִּים ('i.Zim) denotes "goat hair," specifying the exact material for the outer tent covering.
The thread — This instruction mirrors the earlier command in Exodus 26:7, where the same eleven goat hair curtains are first ordered for the tent over the tabernacle.
Why it lands — The text states that eleven curtains of goat hair were made for the tent over the tabernacle, demanding precise adherence to the specified count and material without deviation.
