Commentaries on Exodus 26:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29Thou 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.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-37Verses 1-37 (Compare Exodus 26:1-6, more strictly so-called, its tent Exodus 26:7-13, and its covering Exodus 26:14 (Compare Exodus 35:11; Exodus 39:33-34; Exodus 40:19, Exodus 40:34; Numbers 3:25, etc.).

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 15-3015-30. thou shalt make boards ... rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion ... which was showed thee--The tabernacle, from its name as well as from its general appearance and arrangements, was a tent; but from the description given in these verses, the boards that formed its walls, the five (cross) bars that strengthened them, and the middle bar that "reached from end to end," and gave it solidity and compactness, it was evidently a more…Read the comment
