The vail. — The Pârôkheth, or curtain, which divided the holy place from the holy of holies, is not mentioned in the existing text of 1 Kings 6:21, which passage, however, speaks of the chains of gold by which the vail was probably suspended.
Blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen. — See Notes on 2 Chronicles 2:7; 2 Chronicles 2:14.
Wrought. — See Note on “set,” 2 Chronicles 3:5. Here raised figures in tapestry or broidered work are meant. (See Exodus 26:31, which gives an identical description of the vail of the tabernacle.)
