Footnotes
(a)26:9 The joints of the joined eleven canopies were staggered (off-set) from the joints of the ten canopies. Thus the seams would not leak rain. Each seam of the ten curtains was covered by the middle of a canopy of the eleven. The canopy hung down further in both the front and the back as a result of the additional length, but it was folded over only in the front.(Conte)
(b)26:11 The buckles are different method of attaching the loops than the rings. Using different methods of attachment, and different materials, one over another, provides greater strength and reliability in building anything.(Conte)
(c)26:13 Here we learn that the ‘doubled’ canopy is not literally doubled in half, but folded so that one cubit of additional length is given to the overhang. This must have been folded toward the inside, rather than the outside, so that the fold would not collect rain.(Conte)
(d)26:14 It is unclear from which animal these violet-colored skins came.(Conte)
(e)26:23 The raised corners made the Tabernacle asymmetrical, so that the back corners were the highest part of the tent.(Conte)
(f)26:25 The west side had 8 panels, but the east only had 6, because the east end had the two panel (three royal cubit) opening for the width of the entrance. This entrance width of just under 5 feet, 2 inches, was needed to allow two men to enter side by side, carrying the ark and the tables for the Sanctuary.(Conte)
(g)26:28 Or, ‘through the middle of the panels.’(Conte)
(h)26:33
The sanctuary, etc: That part of the tabernacle, which was without the veil, into which the priests daily entered, is here called the sanctuary, or holy place; that part which was within the veil, into which no one but the high priest ever went, and he but once a year, is called the holy of holies, (literally, the sanctuary of the sanctuaries,) as being the most holy of all holy places.(Challoner)
(i)26:36 This tent was outside of the Tabernacle, forming a covered entryway, which protected the Tabernacle from wind and rain and dust.(Conte)
