Exodus 26:2 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:2

The length of one curtain shall be twenty eight cubits
Or fourteen yards:

and the breadth of one curtain four cubits;
or two yards; according to the common notion of a cubit being half a yard; but if, as Dr. Cumberland says, the Jewish and Egyptian cubit was three inches longer, this will make a considerable difference in the length and breadth of those curtains, especially in the former:

and everyone of the curtains shall have one measure;
be of equal length and breadth.

Exodus 26:2 In-Context

1 "You are to make the tabernacle with ten sheets of finely woven linen and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn. You are to make them with k'ruvim worked in, that have been crafted by a skilled artisan.

2 Each one is to be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the sheets are to be the same size.

3 Five sheets are to be joined one to another, and the other five sheets are to be joined one to another.

4 Make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost sheet in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost sheet in the second set.

5 Make fifty loops on the one sheet, and make fifty loops on the edge of the sheet in the second set; the loops are to be opposite one another.
