Exodus 26:13 - Exposition

And a cubit . Rather, "And the cubit." The cubit by which the goats' hair tent-cloth, which was thirty cubits across ( Exodus 26:8 ), would exceed the linen covering, which was twenty-eight cubits ( Exodus 26:2 ), on either side of the tabernacle, was to be allowed to hang down, like a valance, hiding so far the golden boards of the tabernacle.
