If the repetition is not merely an oversight of the narrator, it is just possible to understand the cords in the present verse to be those by which the outer covering of the dwelling was fastened down, and those in Num 3:37<\/em><\/span> to be the cords by which the hangings of the court were kept taut.<\/p>\n the cords … the service thereof – <\/B>i. e. of the tabernacle, not of the hangings of the court, for these, with their cords and other fittings, belonged to the charge of the Merarites Num 3:36-37<\/span>.
