Commentary
2 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains
on Exodus 36:8-13
The instruction of chapters 25 to 31 began at the ark and worked outward. The building works inward, from the tent here to the ark of chapter 37.
This site's exposition
he joined five of the curtains together
The joining carries out 26:3, two sets of five curtains. The sets met where the gold clasps of verse 13 fastened them. Exodus 26:33 hangs the veil from those clasps, so the seam between the sets ran above the veil.
