Commentaries on Exodus 40:9

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Most holy - In Exodus 40:9 the tabernacle and its utensils are said to be rendered holy by the anointing; the altar and its utensils are in Exodus 40:10 said to be “most holy”.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-33The report on setting up the Tent of Meeting starts with the Lord's commands (40:1–15). It continues with how Moses obeyed those commands (40:16–33).

So long a period spent in preparing the materials of a movable pavilion, it would be difficult to…Read the comment
