The outer covering of badger skin
Guarded the tent against the wilderness,
Protecting priests and furnishings within.
A practical and watchful holiness
Is needed to protect what God finds dear,
Done in a way that's ostentationless.
Death is entailed; if priests are to draw near,
Death must apply - and love will cast out fear.
Love does cast out fear . . .
