He spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle - By the tent, in this and several other places, we are to understand the coverings made of rams' skins, goats' hair, etc., which were thrown over the building; for the tabernacle had no other kind of roof.

and put the covering of the tent above upon it; which was of rams' skins died red, and over that another covering of badgers' skins:
