[27:9]  ⁶ sn The entire courtyard of 150 feet by 75 feet was to be enclosed by a curtain wall held up with posts in bases. All these hangings were kept in place by a cord and tent pegs.

[39:40]  ⁷ tn Heb “utensils, vessels.”

[38:18]  ⁸ tn This word is different from the word for hangings; it has more of the idea of a screen, shielding or securing the area.

[27:17]  ⁹ tn The text uses the passive participle here: they are to “be filleted with silver” or “bound round” with silver.

[27:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “a hundred cubits.”

[27:19]  ¹⁷ sn The tabernacle is an important aspect of OT theology. The writer’s pattern so far has been: ark, table, lamp, and then their container (the tabernacle); then the altar and its container (the courtyard). The courtyard is the place of worship where the people could gather – they entered God’s courts. Though the courtyard may not seem of much interest to current readers, it did interest the Israelites. Here the sacrifices were made, the choirs sang, the believers offered their praises, they had their sins forgiven, they came to pray, they appeared on the holy days, and they heard from God. It was sacred because God met them there; they left the “world” (figuratively speaking) and came into the very presence of God.

[38:15]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “from this and from this” (cf, 17:12; 25:19; 26:13; 32:15; Josh 8:22, 33; 1 Kgs 10:19-20; Ezek 45:7).

[38:17]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “they were banded with silver.”
