Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain
on Exodus 26:36-37
The entrance curtain uses the same four materials as the veil and the inner curtain, and the differences are exact. It is embroidered where those are skillfully worked, it carries no cherubim, and its five posts stand on bronze bases, the veil's on silver.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood,.... One at each corner of the entrance into the tabernacle, and the other three at a proper distance from each other, so as to make four ways for the priests to enter in at; as there might very well be, since there was a breadth of ten cubits, or five yards or more: and overlay them with gold; with plates of gold, for a gild would soon wear off by continual use in passing and repassing.
Church-privileges are movable goods, from one place to another; the gospel is not tied to any place; the candlestick is in a tent, and may easily be taken away, Rev. ii.
