34. A cloud covers the tabernacle














(19) He spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle.--Erected, i.e., the wooden framework, with the covering of goats'-hair, which formed the true tent ('ohel), and so roofed in the Tabernacle (mishkan).

Put the covering . . . above upon it.--"The covering" (mikseh) is the outer protection of rams' skins and seals' skins. (See Exodus 26:14.)
