Context of Exodus 36:35
33They made the middle crossbar so that it ran from one end to the other, halfway up the frames. 34They covered the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also covered the crossbars with gold. They made the canopy out of violet, purple, and bright red yarn and fine linen yarn. An angel design was creatively worked into the fabric. 36They made four posts of acacia wood for it and covered them with gold. They made gold hooks for the posts, and they cast four silver bases for them. 37They made a screen out of fine linen yarn for the entrance to the outer tent. It was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn.

Commentaries on Exodus 36:35
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35He made a veil - See Clarke on Exodus 26:31; (note), etc.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-38Much of the report about building the Tent of Meeting repeats what 25:1–31:18 said. There is a change from the imperative mood to the indicative, and there are certain changes in the order. This repetition emphasizes that the work was done exactly as God commanded (see 40:16). The people had tried to secure God's presence their own way with the gold calf, which led to disaster. Now, by following God's way, they received blessings (40:34–38).Read the comment
