Exodus 26:37

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...

(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 FOR THE HANGING FIVE PILLARS OF SHITTIM WOOD,.... One at each corner of the entrance into the tabernacle, and the other three at a proper distance from each other, so as to make four ways for the priests to enter in at; as there might very well be, since there was a breadth of ten cubits, or five yards or more: AND OVERLAY THEM WITH GOLD; with plates of gold, for a gild would soon wear off by continual use in passing and repassing. This is to be understood not of the whole pillars, but of the chapiters, heads, tops, or knobs of them, and of their fillets or girdles; in some parts of them the wood appearing, as is plain from Exodus 36:38: AND THEIR HOOKS SHALL BE OF GOLD; on which the hanging, covering, or vail was hung: AND THOU SHALT CAST FIVE SOCKETS OF BRASS FOR THEM; for the pillars to stand upon them, and wer

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 ...

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....

THE TEXT OF EXODUS TRANSLATION 26 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cher-u-bim the work of the skilful workman shalt thou make them. (2) The length of each curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure. (3) Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and _the other_ five curtains shall be coupled one to another. (4) And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling. (5) Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling; the loops shall be opposite one to another. (6) And thou shal...
