Commentary
4 notes on this verseThou shalt overlay the boards with gold - It is not said how thick the gold was by which these boards, etc., were overlaid; it was no doubt done with gold plates, but these must have been very thin, else the boards, etc., must have been insupportably heavy. The gold was probably something like our gold leaf, but not brought to so great a degree of tenuity.
This site's exposition
You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood
on Exodus 26:26-29
Five bars a side hold the boards together, and the middle bar runs from end to end. Everything the eye would meet is overlaid with gold, the boards, the rings and the bars alike. The whole frame is built to be taken apart and carried, as Numbers 4 sets out.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold,....
But the builders of the gospel church said, Silver and gold have we none; and yet the glory of their building far exceeded that of the tabernacle, 2 Cor. iii. How much better is wisdom than gold!
