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 Then Moses sent this command throughout the camp: "No man or woman should make anything else as a gift for the Holy Tent." So the people were kept from giving more,

7 because what they had was already more than enough to do all the work.

8 Then the skilled workers made the Holy Tent. They made the ten curtains of blue, purple, and red cloth, and they sewed designs of creatures with wings on the curtains.

9 Each curtain was the same size -- forty-two feet long and six feet wide.

10 Five of the curtains were fastened together to make one set, and the other five were fastened together to make another set.
