Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 26:1-37

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 26:1-2 Chronicles :. cf. Exodus 36:8-Psalms :); the framework that should support them ( Exodus 26:15-Amos :; cf. Exodus 36:20-Nahum :); the inner partition or veil ( Exodus 26:31-Micah :; cf. Exodus 36:35 f.) and the contents of the interior ( Exodus 26:34 f; cf. Exodus 40:20; cf. Exodus 40:22;... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 26:31-37

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 26:31-37THE TABERNACLE VAILSWhat does this vail between the Tabernacle and the court, and this vail which divides the Holy Place from the Holiest Place, signify? and what relation have they to Christianity?I. They signify that the highest vision and fellowship of God are as yet denied to man. Whilst the Tabernacle was standing, these vails signified the distance of God from man,—His inaccessibility. God withdrew Himself behind impenetrable vails. This is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 26:1-37

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Exodus chapter twenty-six. Now when we got into the twenty-fifth chapter of the book of Exodus, we began with the construction of the tabernacle. First of all, God informed him concerning the furnishings that were to be in the tabernacle. So in chapter twenty-nine it is described for Moses how that the ark of the covenant is to be built; it's dimensions, the mercy seat which was the lid on the ark of the covenant with the two carved cherubim. Then the furnishing... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 26:1-37

Exodus 26:1. The tabernacle, המשׁכן hammishacan, is not the only word which designates the habitation of the Lord. In Exodus 15:2, we find habitation, from the root נוה Nevah, he dwelt, which word is still preserved in the nave of our churches, because the Lord has promised to dwell there. This sacred pavilion was the presence chamber of the God of Israel, where he heard prayer, delivered oracles, and passed sentence on man, on armies, on nations. And what nation was there that had God... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Exodus 26:31-37

Exodus 26:31-37And thou shalt make a vail.The Tabernacle vailsI. These vails signify that the highest vision and fellowship of God are as yet denied to man. God’s presence is fenced about from sinful man.II. Whilst these vails remove God from the approach of man, they give the promise of a fuller revelation. The God of mercy, and love, and life, shines through the obscuration.III. That these vails are taken away in Christ (Mark 15:38). In Christ we stand “within the vail.” In Him we realize the... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 26:33

33. Hang up the vail under the taches What taches are here meant? The only use of this word has been to describe the gold and brass hooks which were to couple the tabernacle and tent curtains . Exodus 26:6; Exodus 26:11. If these are referred to, the gold taches of Exodus 26:6 would be most naturally understood, and the vail that separated the two holy places would have hung directly under the coupling of the great tabernacle-cloth . This again would indicate that the sanctuary was... read more
