Everyone who had blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen, or goat hair, ram skins dyed red or the other durable leather brought them. The fabrics and hides — every material the tabernacle requires — are brought by those who have them. The covenant colors that ran through the inner curtains and priestly garments were the same colors present in Israel's households. The community's ordinary household materials become the extraordinary materials of the sanctuary. What people wore and what covered their tents provides the covering for God's tent. The ordinary becomes sacred through willing consecration.
