Exodus 36:34-38

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 36:14-34

Here, 1. The shelter and special protection that the church is under are signified by the curtains of hair-cloth, which were spread over the tabernacle, and the covering of rams? skins and badgers? skins over them, Exod. 36:14-19. God has provided for his people a shadow from the heat, and a covert from storm and rain, Isa. 4:6. They are armed against all weathers; the sun and the moon shall not smite them: and they are protected from the storms of divine wrath, that hail which will sweep away... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 36:35-38

In the building of a house there is a great deal of work about the doors and partitions. In the tabernacle these were answerable to the rest of the fabric; there were curtains for doors, and veils for partitions. 1. There was a veil made for a partition between the holy place, and the most holy, Exod. 36:35, 36. This signified the darkness and distance of that dispensation, compared with the New Testament, which shows us the glory of God more clearly and invites us to draw near to it; and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 36:8-38

And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle ,.... Did the part assigned him, what he was fittest for, and most skilful in: particularly some made ten curtains , &c.; which were properly the tabernacle, and were made first, and then the several things appertaining to it; and from hence, to the end of the chapter Exodus 36:9 , is only an account of the making of the tabernacle, its curtains, coverings, boards, sockets, and bars, the vail for the most... read more

The five pillars of it with their hooks - Their capitals. See Clarke on Exodus 26:32 ; (note), etc. There is scarcely any thing particular in this chapter that has not been touched on before; both it and the following to the end of the book being in general a repetition of what we have already met in detail in the preceding chapters from Exodus 25 to 31 inclusive, and to those the reader is requested to refer. God had before commanded this work to be done, and it was necessary to record... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 36:1-38

THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK , AND THE SUPERFLUOUS LIBERALITY OF THE PEOPLE — THE LATTER HAS TO BE RESTRAINED ( Exodus 36:3-7 ). Bezaleel and Aholiab felt that the time for action was now come. They at once addressed themselves to their task. Moses delivered into their hands all the various offerings which the people, rich and poor, had brought in ( Exodus 35:21-29 ); and skilled workmen were immediately called upon to shape it for the designed uses. The... read more

The remainder of this chapter requires no comment, since it goes over ground already covered. The passage from Exodus 36:8 to Exodus 36:18 corresponds exactly with Exodus 26:1-11 ; that from Exodus 26:19-34 with Exodus 26:14-29 ; that consisting of Exodus 26:35 , Exodus 26:36 , with Exodus 26:33 , Exodus 26:34 ; and the two concluding verses with Exodus 26:36 , Exodus 26:37 . Under these circumstances a few mistranslations will alone be noticed. read more

Exodus 36:35. And he made a veil The veil, made for a partition between the holy place and the most holy, signified the darkness and distance of that dispensation compared with the New Testament, which shows us the glory of God more clearly, and invites us to draw near, to it; and the darkness and distance of our present state in comparison with heaven, where we shall be ever with the Lord, and see him as he is. read more
