Exodus 26:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 26:7

5 Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another.

6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.

7 ^a“You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements.

9 And you shall couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set.

11 And you shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 ^a“You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.

15 “And for the tabernacle you shall ^amake the boards of acacia wood, standing upright.
