Exodus 26 - Introduction - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

A.M. 2513. B.C. 1491.

Moses here receives instructions,

(1,) Concerning the inner curtains of the tabernacle, Exodus 26:1-6.

(2,) Concerning the outer curtains, Exodus 26:7-13.

(3,) Concerning the cover which was to secure it from the weather, Exodus 26:14.

(4,) Concerning the boards which were to support the curtains, Exodus 26:15-30.

(5,) The partition between the holy place and the most holy, Exodus 26:31-35.

(6,) The veil for the door, Exodus 26:36; Exodus 26:37. These particulars seem of little use to us now, yet having been of great use to Moses and Israel, and God having thought fit to preserve to us the remembrance of them, we ought not to overlook them.
