of the Dwelling in front, so as to form a kind of portal above<\/em> the entrance. But this is not the natural meaning of the Heb., which is that the curtain is to be doubled in front of<\/em> the Dwelling, so as to hang down there for 2 cubits, forming a kind of valance over the top of the screen ( v.<\/em> 36), and securing that the Dwelling is in perfect darkness (so Kennedy, p. 662 a ). Render then double<\/strong> (without ‘over’); and see further on v.<\/em> 12.<\/p>\n

The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits<\/strong>,…. The breadth of them is the same with the linen curtains, but the length of them two cubits more; the reason of which was, that they might hang down lower on either side, and the better preserve them from any injury:<\/p>\n

and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure<\/strong>; as to length and breadth.<\/p>\n

(8) Thirty cubits.<\/strong>The additional cubit on either side (comp. Exo. 26:2<\/span>) would hang down and form a valance along the sides of the tent. (See Exo. 26:13<\/span>.)<\/p>\n
