Exodus 40:18 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 40:18

And Moses reared up the tabernacle
Not of himself, but with the help of others:

and fastened the sockets, and set up the boards thereof;
fixed the silver sockets all around, which were the foundation of the building, and placed and established the shittim boards in them:

and put in the bars thereof;
to keep the boards close and tight:

and reared up his pillars;
the pillars that supported the vail between the holy and holy of holies, and those on which the hanging for the door of the tabernacle was put, as well as the several pillars all around the court of the tabernacle for the hangings of that.
