Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Exodus 26:14

The outer coverings. Over the goathair covering are spread two others, one of red leather made of ramskin, and the other, the outermost, of sealskin: see on Exodus 25:5. The purpose of these opaque and heavy curtains is to exclude the light.

15-30. The wooden framework supporting the coverings.
