The overlap of the tent curtains signifies the completeness and sufficiency of God's provision. The curtains were made of fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, symbolizing purity, royalty, and sacrifice. This overlap ensured protection and coverage, emphasizing God's desire to dwell among His people securely. The tabernacle itself is a type of Christ, who provides complete covering and protection for believers.<p><b>the half curtain that is left over</b><br>The half curtain represents the meticulous planning in the tabernacle's design, ensuring that nothing was wasted. This leftover portion signifies God's abundance and the idea that His grace is more than sufficient. In a broader biblical context, it can be seen as a reminder of God's provision, as seen in the feeding of the 5,000, where leftovers were gathered, symbolizing the abundance of God's blessings.<p><b>shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle</b><br>The hanging of the curtain over the back of the tabernacle provided additional protection and insulation. This act of covering the back signifies God's encompassing presence, offering security and completeness. The tabernacle, as a whole, prefigures the incarnation of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>). The back covering can also symbolize the hidden aspects of God's glory, which are not fully revealed to humanity, much like the Holy of Holies was hidden from view.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the instructions for the tabernacle from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites, designed according to divine specifications.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were wandering in the desert after their exodus from Egypt.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness.htm">The Wilderness</a></b><br>The setting where the Israelites were traveling and where the tabernacle was constructed.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tent_curtains.htm">The Tent Curtains</a></b><br>Part of the tabernacle's structure, made of fine linen and other materials, symbolizing God's covering and protection.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_attention_to_detail.htm">God's Attention to Detail</a></b><br>The specific instructions for the tabernacle, including the overlapping curtain, show God's concern for detail and order.
