Exodus 40:19 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses. 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.
