Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle
on Exodus 26:7-11
The second covering is goat hair, eleven curtains against the ten below, and it is called a tent while the linen beneath is the tabernacle. Its “fifty bronze clasps” are bronze where the inner ones are gold, since the further out a thing sits the plainer its metal.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Thus the churches of Christ, though they are many, yet are one, being fitly joined together in holy love and by the unity of the Spirit, so growing into one holy temple in the Lord. This tabernacle was very strait and narrow, but at the preaching of the gospel, the church is bid to enlarge the place of her tent, and to stretch forth her curtains, Isaiah liv, 2.
And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain, that is outmost in the coupling,.... Just in like manner, and in the same place where they were ordered to be put on the linen curtains, only these are not said to be of blue, but perhaps were wrought with goats hair: and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second; these loops were set on each of the curtains where the two large pieces were to be coupled together.
