What did the Coverings of the Tabernacle look like? How were the curtains put together? How were they layered? Were they really Badger skins used for the last layer? (They would need to kill a lot of badgers)

Here is a 3D visualisation of the Tabernacle Curtains that Covered the Tabernacle. How they were put together and what types of material were used. The visuals follow along with the scripture in exodus 26:1-14.

This is one of multiple videos showing the various parts and components that comprise the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. My hope is that you will find this video informative and useful in bringing to life the details of the Tabernacle written in the book of Exodus.  All the videos here are free to download in HD definition or, with a subscription 4K definition from the Bible Scenes website. My goal is to be able to spend all my working hours re-creating scenes from the Bible that can be used by anyone, free of charge, in any way (with a few conditions).

All the scenes of the Tabernacle were created with a combination of Blender and Unreal Engine. Mostly modelled and textured in Blender and then imported into Unreal Engine for rendering. 

All the voice overs were done by my good friend, colleague and brother in law Howard Conder.

09 The Tabernacle Covering. Exodus 26:1-14

26 “Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them. 2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. And every one of the curtains shall have [a]the same measurements. 3 Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another. 4 And you shall make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set, and likewise you shall do on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set. 5 Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another. 6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.7 “You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains. 8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements. 9 And you shall couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent. 10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set. 11 And you shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one. 12 The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.14 “You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.
