Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 26:15-30

15-30 The sockets of silver each weighed about 115 pounds; they were placed in rows on the ground. In every pair of these sockets, a strong board of shittim-wood, covered with plates of gold, was fitted by mortises and tenons. Thus walls were formed for the two sides, and for the west end. The wall was further held together by bars, which passed through rings of gold. Over this the curtains were spread. Though movable, it was strong and firm. The materials were very costly. In all this it was a... read more

The framework of the Tabernacle v. 15. And thou shalt make boards for the Tabernacle of shittim wood standing up, planks of acacia wood that were durable, such as could stand up under the strain of the wind and the frequent handling. v. 16. Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board. v. 17.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 26:1-25

the Curtains and Boards of the Tabernacle Exodus 26:1-25 The Tabernacle was constructed of upright boards, over which four sets of curtains were thrown. The innermost set, which made the ceiling, was of tapestry, embroidered with cherubim in various colors-blue, scarlet and purple-the cunning work of a damask weaver. Over these was a second set, of goats’ hair, longer and broader, so as to protect them; while the third and fourth sets were of rams’ and seals’ skins, respectively, to protect... read more

the Veil and the Screen Exodus 26:26-37 The boards that made the sides and back of the Tabernacle were of wood covered with gold, and set in sockets of silver. They were knit together by the five long bars that passed through the rings, parallel with the ground. The veil typified the separation between man and God, the awful barrier that sin has caused, which shuts out from the enjoyment of God all save those who can enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus. Men had impressed on them... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 26:1-37

Continuing the outward movement of description from the Ark as center, we have instructions concerning the curtains and coverings which were to constitute the Tabernacle and Tent. There was unquestionably symbolic suggestiveness in everything. Fine twined linen was the symbol of purity, the blue of heavenly glory, the purple of kingly majesty, the scarlet of the richness of created life, while the inwrought cherubim symbolized the highest realization of life. The boards and bars constituted... read more

The Framework of the Dwelling-place (Exodus 26:15-25 ) . This can be analysed as follows: a The frames are to be made standing up and the measurements are given in cubits (Exodus 26:15-16). b Two tenons to be made for each frame to join them up (Exodus 26:17). c Twenty frames to be made for the south side (Exodus 26:18). d Forty sockets of silver to be made to support the frames, two per frame (Exodus 26:19). e Twenty frames to be made for the north side (Exodus 26:20). d Forty... read more

The Making of the Bars To Hold The Frames Together (Exodus 26:26-29 ). This may be analysed as follows: a Five bars were to be made of acacia wood for the frames for each of the south, north and west sides (Exodus 26:26-27). b The middle bar was to pass from end to end right along the frames (Exodus 26:28). c The frames were to be overlaid with gold, they were to attach rings of gold to hold the bars, and the bars were to be overlaid with gold (Exodus 26:29). In ‘a’ we have the description... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 26:30-37

The Making of the Veil and the Ordering of the Dwellingplace (Exodus 26:30-37 ). Exodus 26:30 is regularly connected with what precedes, but it is very different from Exodus 25:40, and the chiastic pattern connects it with what follows. Furthermore it fits in well with this following passage which deals not only with the veil but also with the ordering of the furniture in the Dwellingplace The Most Holy Place was to be separated from the Holy Place by a large veil. This would keep the Most... read more
