   * Ex 26:1-37 1Ch 15:1
- cherubims.
  {Keroovim,} cherubim, not cherubims.  What these were we
  cannot determine.  Some, observing that the verb {kerav} in
  Syriac, sometimes means to resemble, make like, conceive the
  noun {keroov} signifies no more than an image, figure, or
  representation of anything.  Josephus says they were flying
  animals, like none of those which are seen by man, but such
  as Moses saw about the throne of God.  In another place he
  says, "As for the cherubim, nobody can tell or conceive what
  they were like."  These symbolical figures, according to the
  description of them by Ezekiel, (ch. 10 1:10; 14 10:14,) were
  creatures with four heads and one body; and the animals of
  which these forms consisted were the noblest of their kind;
  the lion among the wild beasts; the bull among the tame ones;
  the eagle among the birds, and man at the head of all.  Hence
  some have conceived them to be somewhat of the shape of
  flying oxen; and it is alleged in favor of this opinion,
  that the far more common meaning of the verb {kerav,} in
  Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, being to plough, the natural
  meaning of {keroov,} is a creature used in ploughing.  This
  seems to have been the ancient opinion which tradition had
  handed down, concerning the shape of the cherubim with the
  flaming sword, that guarded the tree of life.  (Ge 3:24.)

 - covering.  See on ch.
   * Ex 26:14
- rams' skins dyed red.
  This was the third covering of the tabernacle.  The first and
  lowermost was made of fine linen, richly embroidered with
  figures of cherubim, in shades of blue, purple, and scarlet
  (ver. 8-13).  It is reasonable to suppose, that the right
  side of this curtain was undermost, and so it formed a
  beautiful ceiling in the inside of the tabernacle.  The
  second covering, which lay over the embroidered one, was made
  of a sort of mohair, (ver. 14-17,) and the fourth, or
  uppermost one, which was to keep the others from the weather,
  was made of {tachash,} or badgers' skins.

VERSE 21 
 - The length.
  Each of these boards, taking the cubit at nearly twenty-two
  inches, was about eighteen feet long, and two feet nine
  inches broad.  As these boards are said to be standing up
  (ver. 20,) their length was consequently the height of the
  tabernacle; and as the two sides were composed of twenty of
  these, standing up (ver. 23, 25,) and the west end of six,
  with two boards to project at the corners, (ver. 27, 28,) the
  tabernacle must therefore, have been thirty cubits, or
  fifty-five feet long, and about ten cubits, or eighteen feet
  broad.  These boards were fastened at the bottom by two
  tenons in each board, which fitted into two mortices in the
  foundation, at the top by links or hasps, and on the sides by
  five wooden bars, which ran through rings or staples in each
  of the boards.  The boards and bars were all overlaid with
  gold; and their rings for the staves, and their hasps at top,
  were of the same metal.  The foundation on which they stood
  consisted of about ninety-six solid blocks of silver, two
  under each board, about eighteen inches long, and of a
  suitable thickness; and each weighing a talent, or about a
  hundred weight.  Four blocks of silver formed the bases of
  the columns which supported the curtain that divided the
  inside of the tabernacle into two rooms.

VERSE 34


VERSE 35 
 - vail of blue.
  {Parachoth,} from {parach,} to separate, divide, make a
  distinction between somewhat, the inner vail, which divided
  the tabernacle into two, and separated, and made a
  distinction between the Holy place and the Holy of Holies.
  This vail was made of the same rich materials as the inner
  covering of the tabernacle, and curiously embroidered with
  cherubim and other ornaments.  Though it does not appear from
  Scripture at what distance from either end of the tabernacle
  this vail was hung, yet is reasonably conjectured, that it
  divided it in the same proportion in which the temple, built
  after this model, was divided; that is, two-thirds of the
  whole length were allotted to the first room, and one-third
  to the second; so that the room beyond the vail, the Holy of
  Holies, was exactly square, being ten cubits each way, and
  the first room, the sanctuary, was twice as long as it was
  broad.

VERSE 36
    * Jer 1:18


VERSE 37 
 - an hanging.
  This vail was a fine embroidered curtain, of the same
  materials and of the same workmanship as the inner vail and
  inner covering of the tabernacle.  The text does not say how
  low it hung.  Philo makes it touch the ground; but Josephus
  will have it to come down but half way, so that the people
  might have a view of the inside of the tabernacle; but then
  he says there was another curtain over that, which came to
  the ground, to keep it from the weather, and was drawn aside
  on the sabbath and other festivals.

   * Ex 26:36,37; 40:28
- of needlework.  Heb. the work of a needle worker, or
  embroider.
   * Ex 26:36


VERSE 38 
 - fillets with gold.
   * Ex 27:10
