Les Feldick Bible Study

Were the tabernacle's inner curtains hung on golden or silver hooks?

The inner linen curtains of the tabernacle were hung on golden hooks. In contrast, the outer fence was hung on silver hooks. The wood frame was set in silver blocks, not brass, and the coverings included goat's hair, ram skins dyed red, and badger skins.

Les explains that after the inside linen was hung, it was hung on golden hooks, whereas the outer fence was hung on silver. He notes the wood frame was set in blocks of silver, not brass, and someone once speculated this amounted to several tons of silver. Les then describes the coverings: first goat's hair next to the wood frame, then ram skins dyed red, and the outer covering of badger skins.
