Context of Exodus 26:29

27five bars for the north side, and five bars for the west side at the back of the tabernacle. 28The bar that goes across the centre of the boards must reach from one end of the tabernacle to the other end. Use gold to cover the boards and to make rings for the boards. These rings will hold the bars in place across the boards. Also cover the wooden bars with gold. 30Make the tabernacle the same as the plan that I showed to you on the mountain. 31Use blue, purple and red material and good linen to make a special curtain. A worker must use special skills to make pictures of cherubs on it.

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.). These parts are very clearly distinguished in the Hebrew, but they are confounded in many places of the English Version (see Exodus 26:7, Exodus 26:9, etc.). The tabernacle itself was to consist of curtains of fine linen woven with colored figures of…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-30Verses 15-30 The sockets of silver each weighed about 115 pounds; they were placed in rows on the ground.

The wall was further held together by bars, which passed through rings of gold. Over this the curtains were spread. Though movable, it was strong and firm. The…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-37The tabernacle itself (not including the courtyard around it) was not very large. It was about 4.6 meters (15 feet) wide and 13.7 meters (45 feet) long. The main structure stood on 48 vertical frames. Each frame was 4.6 meters (15 feet) high and 68.6 centimeters (27 inches) wide (26:16). The frames were made of acacia wood and covered with gold (26:15, 29). Workers joined the frames together with horizontal crossbars. These bars formed a three-sided…Read the comment
• 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
