Esodo 27:19

19 Sieno di rame tutti gli arredi del Tabernacolo, per qualunque suo servigio, come ancora tutti i suoi piuoli, e tutti i piuoli del Cortile.

Esodo 27:19 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 27:19

All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof,
&c.] Which either refers to the vessels belonging to the altar of burnt offering, and so is a repetition of what is said, ( Exodus 27:3 ) or rather to instruments that were used at the setting up and taking down of the tabernacle; such as hammers and the like, to drive the staves into the rings, and knock out the pillars from their sockets, as Jarchi and Ben Gersom observe; for otherwise the vessels used in the sanctuary were of gold or silver, or covered therewith, and not of brass, as these are afterwards said to be:

and all the pins thereof;
what these were is not easy to say; for there was nothing made of brass in the holy or most holy place, but the taches or clasps, with which the curtains of goats' hair were coupled together, and the sockets on which the five pillars were set at the entrance of the door of the tabernacle, ( Exodus 26:11 Exodus 26:37 ) and it is possible that those pillars might be fastened in their sockets with brass pins; for the clasps or taches can hardly be called pins:

and all the pins of the court shall be of brass;
these were brass pins, or stakes fastened in the ground all round the court, to which cords were tied, and these fastened to the hangings; whereby they were kept tight and close, that the wind could not move them to and fro, as Jarchi and Ben Melech observe, and so Josephus ^F11; see ( Isaiah 33:20 ) .

Esodo 27:19 In-Context

17 Abbiano tutte le colonne del Cortile d’intorno de’ fili di argento; e sieno i lor capitelli di argento, e i lor piedistalli di rame.

18 Sia la lunghezza del Cortile di cento cubiti, e la larghezza, da un lato e dall’altro, di cinquanta cubiti, e l’altezza di cinque cubiti; sieno le cortine di fin lino ritorto, e i piedistalli delle colonne di rame.

19 Sieno di rame tutti gli arredi del Tabernacolo, per qualunque suo servigio, come ancora tutti i suoi piuoli, e tutti i piuoli del Cortile.

20 Comanda ancora a’ figliuoli d’Israele che ti portino dell’olio di uliva puro, vergine, per la lumiera, per accendere del continuo le lampane.

21 Mettanle in ordine Aaronne ed i suoi figliuoli, per ardere dalla sera fino alla mattina, davanti al Signore, nel Tabernacolo della convenenza, di fuori della cortina che ha da essere davanti alla Testimonianza. Sia questo uno statuto perpetuo, da osservarsi da’ figliuoli d’Israele per le loro età.
