Exodus 36:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 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
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 36:9-38 ) , is only an account of the making of the tabernacle, its curtains, coverings, boards, sockets, and bars, the vail for the most holy place, and the hangings for the tabernacle, exactly as they are ordered to be made, (See Gill on Exodus 26:1) &c. to end of chapter: and it may be observed, that throughout the account of the various articles, it is all along said "he" did this and the other; either referring to Moses, by whose orders they were done, or to Bezaleel, the chief director of the work, or to each and everyone of the artificers severally concerned.

Exodus 36:8 In-Context

6 So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

7 For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.

8 Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

9 Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

10 And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.
