Covering of Skins/Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

The Covering of Skins represents the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.

The Rough ER is where we find most of the 'sprinkled' Ribosomes, hence the 'rough' description...

"The outer (cytosolic) face of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that are the sites of protein synthesis"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum

Earlier we learned that these little 'studs' of Ribosomes were representative of the Sprinkling of Blood...

Just as the Blood of Jesus 'covers' the sinner, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum covers the Nucleus...

The Rough ER is often described as 'sheets' of fabric...

"The membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum forms large double membrane sheets that are located near, and continuous with, the outer layer of the nuclear envelope"

...another perfect match with Scripture.

When all of the coverings are totaled up, there are exactly Twenty Three, the same as the number of Chromosome Pairs a typical Human has!

Could this be why famous painters are always incorporating the '23' hand signal into their paintings?

Note that the inside Covering has Cherubim sewn onto it signifying the Twenty Three pairs of Chromosomes as we learned about previously.

It's funny to think of all of these sheets being 'folded' as we read this Wikipedia description of what the Rough ER does...

"The endoplasmic reticulum serves many general functions, including the folding of protein molecules in sacs called cisternae and the transport of synthesized proteins in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus"

Think of all that protein that someone got to eat when they hunted and skinned those animal hides.

Meat = Protein. Yum!

Let's not forget that God covered Adam and Eve with Skins after their fall in the Garden of Eden...

Genesis 3:21

"Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them"

Very Illuminating.
