1. The tabernacle The word here is המשׁכן , and denotes more strictly the board structure described below, Exodus 26:15-30, but came to be used of the entire structure, including the curtains . These golden plated boards were to be securely covered above, and the coverings are first described .
Ten curtains Or, hangings, so called, according to Gesenius, from their tremulous motion . Of the fabrics and colours of which they were made see Exodus 25:4, notes . Here it is noted that the fine linen was twined, or twisted . The material, in various colours, was twisted or woven together, by the most skilful workmanship, and upon the whole cherubim of cunning work, that is, figures of the cherubim, the skilful work of a weaver, were to be embroidered. These highly ornamental curtains were to form the visible ceiling of the sanctuary.
