Commentary on Numbers 4:13
The blue cloth covering speaks of the heavenly origin and divine nature of the tabernacle furnishings. Blue, derived from expensive dyes, consistently represents the celestial and holy throughout Scripture. Covering the sacred objects before transport protected both the objects and the carriers—the holiness of God's presence required proper mediation. This reflects the Reformed understanding that sinful humanity cannot approach God's holiness directly but requires divine provision and protection.
