Exodus 40:33 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 40:33

And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and
the altar
Which consisted of hangings one hundred cubits long and fifty broad; see ( Exodus 27:9 )

and set up the hanging of the court gate;
which was at the east end of it; and the hanging was of twenty cubits, hung upon four pillars, ( Exodus 27:16 )

so Moses finished the work;
of the tabernacle, in making it by workmen, and in rearing it up by the help of others; and as the former was the work of some months, so the latter, it is highly probable, was the work of some days, at least, in doing all that is said to be done in this chapter relative to it; for though it is said to be reared up on the first day of the first month, yet not then fully set up, or everything done requisite to the use and service of it; see ( Numbers 7:1 ) .
