11 “You shall make fifty clasps of 3bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it will be a unit. 12 “The overlapping part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall lap over the back of the tabernacle. 13 “The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall lap over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it. 14 “You shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.
One thing we can depend on is this: God is consistent, and He is faithful. He doesn’t waiver or change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Man will fail. Man will change. Society changes. But God remains true to His nature.
