Goats' hair, rams' hides and goats' hides

So why is the Tabernacle covered in this stuff (Exodus 26)? It's so normal, nothing royal or divine about it. Then again, why did God clothe Himself in human flesh (John 1:14)? Or is that the point?
It seems to me that God dwells in humility as one of us among us, although under that normal tent or human flesh dwells the Creator and King.
But surely the teaching of Genesis 1-2 or Psalm 8 makes human flesh the ideal clothing for God?
There's a lot of questions - anyone out there interested in answering?
