Commentary
1 note on this verseThis site's exposition
made ten curtains of fine twined linen
on Exodus 36:8-13
The instruction in chapters 25 to 31 began at the ark and worked outward. The building begins at the tent and works inward, and the ark is not made until chapter 37. Every command of chapter 26 now returns in the past tense, made and coupled and overlaid, which is the reason the work is reported twice. The cherubims of Genesis 3:24, set to keep the way to the tree of life, are woven into the innermost covering of the place where God will dwell among the people.
