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

3 Five of the sheets must be sewn together, and the other five must also be sewn together.

4 Make 50 violet loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set,

5 placing the loops opposite each other.
