Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the (g) vail of the covering,
(g) So called, because it hung before the mercyseat and covered it from sight (Exodus 35:12).

the covering of rams' skin dyed red--(See on Exodus 25:5). It was probably red morocco leather and "badgers' skins," rather "the skins of the tahash, supposed to be the dugong, or dolphin of the Red Sea, the skin of which is still used by the Arabs under the same appellation" [GOSS].
