Exodus 26:36

_AND THOU SHALT MAKE AN HANGING FOR THE DOOR OF THE TENT, OF BLUE, AND PURPLE, AND SCARLET, AND FINE TWINED LINEN, WROUGHT WITH NEEDLEWORK._ An hanging for the door of the tent. Curtains of rich and elaborate embroidery, made by the female inmates, are suspended over the doors or entrances of the tents occupied by Eastern chiefs and princes. In a similar style of elegance was the hanging finished which was to cover the door of this tabernacle-the chosen habitation of the God and King of Israel. It appears from Exodus 26:12; Exodus 26:22, that the ark and mercyseat were placed in the west end of the tabernacle, and consequently the door or entrance fronted the east, so as the Israelites in worshipping Yahweh turned their faces toward the west, that they might be thus figuratively taught to t

31-37 A vail, or curtain, separated the holy place from the most holy place. It was hung upon pillars. This vail was for a partition between the holy place and the most holy; which forbade any to look into the holiest of all. The apostle tells what was the meaning of this vail, Hebrews 9:8. That the ceremonial law could not make the comers thereunto perfect, nor would the observance of it bring men to heaven; the way into the holiest of all was not made manifest, while the first tabernacle was standing. Life and immortality lay hidden till they were brought to light by the gospel; which was signified by the rending of this vail at the death of Christ, Matthew 27:51. We have now boldness to enter into the holiest, in all acts of worship, by the blood of Jesus; yet such as obliges us to holy reverence. Another vail w...

Verse Exodus 26:36. _A HANGING FOR THE DOOR OF THE TENT_] This may be called the _first_ veil, as it occupied the door or entrance to the tabernacle; the veil that separated the holy place from the holy of holies is called the _second_ veil, Hebrews 9:3. These two veils and the inner covering of the tabernacle were all of the same materials, and of the same workmanship. See Exodus 27:16. 1. FOR the meaning and design of the tabernacle Exodus 25:40, Exodus 25:40: and while the reader is struck with t

(Compare Exodus 36:8.) The tabernacle was to comprise three main parts, the tabernacle Exodus 26:1, more strictly so-called, its tent Exodus 26:7, and its covering Exodus 26:14 (Compare Exodus 35:11; Exodus 39:33; Exodus 40:19, Exodus 40:34;...

EXPOSITION EXODUS 26:1 THE TABERNACLE. The sacred furniture which the tabernacle was to contain having been described, with the exception of the "altar of incense" the description of which is reserved for Exodus 30:1. (Exodus 30:1)-directions were next given for the sacred structure itself. This was to consist of three main things— 1. A quadrangular enclosure thirty cubits long by ten broad, open at one end, and on the other three sides enclosed by boards of acacia-wood overlaid with gold—called the _mishkan_, or "the dwelling-place," in our version usually translated "tabernacle." 2....

AND THOU SHALT MAKE AN HANGING FOR THE DOOR OF THE TENT,.... At the east end of the tabernacle, which lay open and exposed, and for which as yet there was no provision; the west end of it, where stood the holy of holies, was enclosed with six boards, and two corner ones, Exodus 26:22 and the linen curtains hung down there to the silver bases, and so did the curtains of goats' hair, even to the ground, and half a curtain to spare, see Exodus 26:12 but for the east end, or entrance into the tabernacle, there was nothing till now ordered, only the sixth curtain of the goats' hair curtains was there turned up double, Exodus 26:9, but now here an "hanging" is ordered, or rather a "covering" z, as the word signifies; Jarchi calls it a

CHAPTER 26 THE TABERNACLE AND ITS CONSTRUCTION _ 1. The curtains (Exodus 26:1)_ 2. The coverings (Exodus 26:7) 3. The boards (Exodus 26:15) 4. The vail (Exodus 26:31) 5. The hangings for the door (Exodus 26:36) While the tabernacle is a type of the heavenly places (Hebrews 9:23) it is also a type of Christ, who tabernacled among men. The wonderful foreshadowings we find here down to the minutest details is an evidence of in

EXODUS 26. P. THE DWELLING. This chapter deals with the tent, or tabernacle proper, describing in succession the four thicknesses of different materials which were to make its covering (Exodus 26:1. _cf._ Exodus 36:8); the framework that should support them (Exodus 26:15; cf. Exodus 36:20); the inner partition or veil (Exodus 26:31; cf. Exodus 36:35 f.) and the contents of the interior ...

HANGING. Hebrew. _misak,_. covering to hide (Compare Exodus 26:31) not the _paroketh_ of Exodus 26:31. No cherubim woven on this; and sockets of pillars of brass, instead of gold or silver. See note on Exodus 26:17. DOOR. entrance....

Exodus 36-7 (Exodus 26:36-37). The _screen_, to cover the entrance to the Dwelling. This was of the same materials as the veil (_v._31), but, as it was further from the shrine, of less elaborate workmanship, the -work of the variegator," or -embroiderer" (not of the -designer" or pattern-weaver see on _v._1), and without cherubim....
