(25) Sixteen sockets.—Two for each corner board, and twelve for the six boards between them. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 26:26

(26) Bars of shittim wood.—The object of the “bars” was to hold the “boards” together, and prevent there being any aperture between one board and another. They were fifteen in number, five for each of the three sides of the boarded space. The “middle bar” on each side was to extend from end to end of the tabernacle (Exodus 26:28), the four bars above and below being shorter, each coupling together probably one-half of the boards of its side. The bars were passed through “rings” attached to the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 26:27

(27) For the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward.—This is quite unintelligible. Translate, for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, which is at the back westward. read more

(28) In the midst of the boards.—Rather, midway in the boards—equi-distant, i.e., from the bottom and the top. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 26:30

(30) According to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee.—See Exodus 25:9; Exodus 25:40. However minute—even tediously minute—the description, there would necessarily have been a multitude of particulars, not to be described in words, where Moses would have to be guided by the pattern that he had seen. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Exodus 26:1-37

CHAPTER XXVI.THE TABERNACLE.Exodus 26:1-37We now come to examine the structure of the tabernacle for which the most essential furniture has been prepared.Some confusion of thought exists, even among educated laymen, with regard to the arrangements of the temple; and this has led to similar confusion (to a less extent) concerning the corresponding parts of the tabernacle. "The temple" in which the Child Jesus was found, and into which Peter and John went up to pray, ought not to be confounded... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Exodus 26:1-37

CHAPTER 26 The Tabernacle and its Construction 1. The curtains (Exodus 26:1-6 ) 2. The coverings (Exodus 26:7-14 ) 3. The boards (Exodus 26:15-30 ) 4. The vail (Exodus 26:31-35 ) 5. The hangings for the door (Exodus 26:36-37 ) 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 inspiration. We must confine ourselves to a... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 26:1-37

THE INNER COVERING OF THE TABERNACLE (vs.1-6) The tabernacle itself had four coverings; the lower one, which would be visible from inside, being made of fine woven linen with blue, purple and scarlet material woven into this, as well as ornamental cherubim. Since one would have to be inside to see the beauty of all of this, we are reminded that only believers coming into the presence of the Lord, are able to discern the glory and beauty of His person. Though the white fine linen speaks of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Exodus 26:1-37

The two chief objects within the Court were the Brazen Altar and the Tabernacle. Sacrificial worship was old, but the local Sanctuary was quite new. The Tabernacle is most frequently called the Tabernacle of the Congregation. A better rendering is supposed to be, "The Tent of Meeting." The Tabernacle was also called "The Tent of the Testimony," in allusion to the fact that it was the depositary of the Tables of the Law. The highest meaning of the structure was expressed by the Ark, which... read more

The costly furniture reminds us of what is said of the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:18 . But is not the whole intended to lead to Jesus? Revelation 21:22 . read more
