Exodus 26:32 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Their hooks—of gold upon the four sockets of silver— What The LXX render hooks, Houbigant and many others render chapiters, (their chapiters of gold upon four sockets or bases of silver, like those mentioned Exodus 26:19.) which is the more likely to be the true version, not only because it is scarcely to be doubted that these pillars had chapiters; but because the hooks for the vail are expressed in the next verse by another word, taches or clasps. The Hebrew, literally, in Exodus 26:33, is, and thou shalt give the vail from or by clasps; [i.e. thou shalt cause it to hang by clasps from the pillars] and thou shalt bring in thither, within the vail, the ark, &c. In Hebrews 9:3 this is called the second vail, which must be understood in reference to the hanging for the door of the tent, mentioned Exodus 26:36 which was made of the same stuff with this inner vail, and may properly enough be called the first vail or covering.
