Shemot 26:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:3

The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another,
&c.] Five of the ten curtains were to be sewed together, and make as it were one curtain:

and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another:
the other five were to be joined together in like manner, and so made two large pieces of tapestry of fourteen yards long and ten broad, according to the common account of a cubit, but were much longer and broader.

Shemot 26:3 In-Context

1 6 Moreover thou shalt make the Mishkan (Tabernacle) with ten curtains of twisted linen with turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool; with keruvim of artistic needle work shalt thou make them.

2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the width of one curtain four cubits; and every one of the curtains shall have middah achat (one size).

3 The five curtains shall be choverot (joined together) one to another; and the other five curtains shall be chovrot one to another.

4 And thou shalt make loops of turquoise wool upon the edge of the outermost curtain of the set; and likewise shalt thou make loops upon the edge of the outermost curtain, in the second set.

5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the first curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the edge of the outermost curtain that is in the second set; that the loops may be opposite one another.
