3. Gold, and silver, and brass Sceptics have been fond of asking whence the Hebrews in the wilderness could have obtained such quantifies of the precious metals as the tabernacle required . It is not difficult to answer: (1 . ) They probably possessed some of the treasures which belonged to their ancient fathers, and of which they had not been despoiled in Egypt. (2.) They obtained great quantities of gold and silver from the Egyptians on their departure from their land. See Exodus... read more

4. Blue, and purple, and scarlet The exact colours, tints, or shades denoted by the Hebrew words thus translated it is now hardly possible to determine with absolute certainty . The same may be said of the names of colours in all the ancient languages . The use of these different colours in the tabernacle probably served not only for the sake of beauty and variety, but also to suggest thoughts of heavenly excellence and glory . The three colours here named have always and everywhere been... read more

5. Rams’ skins dyed red “These skins may have been tanned and coloured like the leather now known as red morocco, which is said to have been manufactured in Libya from the remotest antiquity . ” Speaker’s Commentary .

8. A sanctuary This word, מקדשׁ , has occurred but once before this place, namely, in Moses’s song, (Exodus 15:17,) where a general prophecy is made that the chosen people shall be established in the mountain of Jehovah’s inheritance, the sanctuary in which Jehovah purposed to dwell . This name applies to the entire structure about to be described, and designates it as the holy place where Jehovah would graciously dwell among his people, and reveal to them his holiness and his truth . read more

9. The pattern of the tabernacle This is most positively represented throughout this entire narrative (comp . Exodus 25:40; Exodus 26:30; Acts 7:44; Hebrews 8:5) as given to Moses by divine revelation . The notion that it was a fiction of the priests, invented nearly a thousand years after the time of Moses, puts such a withering stamp of falsehood upon this straightforward narrative that it must fail to commend itself to any serious student of history . But when we study out the details,... read more

Its probable form is best illustrated by the adjoining cut . read more
