The word taches is formed by apheresis from the French attacher, to fasten. They were equivalent, perhaps, to our hooks-and-eyes.Reciprocal 26:6 - taches of gold; 26:36 - the tent; 39:33 - the tent; 40:2 - tabernacle; Numbers 3:36 - under the custody and charge Verse 12 ark Exodus 25:10-22, 37:1-9 the veil 26:7, 26:31-33, 36:35, 36:36 Reciprocal 40:3 - General; 40:21 - he brought Verse 13 Exodus 25:23-30, 37:10-16; Leviticus 24:5, 24:6 Reciprocal Exodus 25:30 - General; 27:6 - staves for the altar Verse 14 candlestickMenorah, rather, a chandelier, which was of pure gold, and is described as having one shaft, with six branches proceeding from it, adorned at equal distances with six flowers, like lilies, with as many bowls and knops placed alternately.

Josephus says, that to every board of the tabernacle, and to every pillar of the hangings of the court, there were ropes or cords, fastened at the top of the board or pillar, and that the other end of the rope was fastened to a πασσαλος, a nail, or pin, which, at a good distance off, was driven into the ground up to the head, a cubit deep. This was to keep the tabernacle from being blown down by the wind. Dr. Shaw, describing the tents of the Bedouins, says, "These tents are kept firm and steady by bracing or stretching down their eaves with cords tied to wooden hooked pins, well pointed, which they drive into the ground with a mallet; one of these pins answering to the nail, as the mallet does to the hammer, which Jael used in fastening to the ground the temples of Sisera" - Judges 4:21.

wisdom, denoting the compass of mind and strength of capacity necessary to form a wise man; hence our word wisdom is the power of judging what is wise, or best to be done; from the Saxon wisedom, the doom or judgment of the well taught, wise, or prudent man, from wisan, to teach, advise, and deman, to judge.understandingTevoonah, - from boon, to separate, distinguish, discern

Verse 8 wise Exodus 31:6, 35:10 made 26:1-37; 1 Chronicles 15:1 cherubimsKeroovim, cherubim, not cherubims. What these were we cannot determine. Some, observing that the verb kerav in Syriac, sometimes means to resemble, make like, conceive the noun keroov signifies no more than an image, figure, or representation of anything. Josephus says they were flying animals, like none of those which are seen by man, but such as Moses saw about the throne of God. In another place he says, "As for the cherubim, nobody can tell or conceive what they were like." These symbolical figures, according to the description of them by Ezekiel - Ezekiel 1:10; 10:14
were creatures with four heads and one body; and the animals of which these forms consisted were the noblest of their kind; the lion among the wild beasts; the bull among the tame ones; the eagle among the birds, and man at the head of all. Hence some have conceived them to be somewhat of the shape of flying oxen; and it is alleged in favour of this opinion, that the far more common meaning of the verb kerav, in Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic, being to plough, the natural meaning of keroov, is a creature used in ploughing. This seems to have been the ancient opinion which tradition had handed down, concerning the shape of the cherubim with the flaming sword, that guarded the tree of life - Genesis 3:24. Exodus 25:18, 25:22; 1 Kings 6:23; 2 Chronicles 3:10; Ezekiel 1:5-28, 10:1-19 Reciprocal Exodus 26:31 - blue; 31:7 - tabernacle; 35:11 - tabernacle; 35:26 - General; 36:19 - rams' skins dyed red; 39:3 - cunning work; 40:19 - the tent; Numbers 3:25 - the tabernacle and; 1 Kings 6:29 - carved figures; 7:14 - he was filled; Habakkuk 3:1 - a tabernacle Verse 10 Exodus 26:3; Psalm 122:3, 133:1; Zephaniah 3:9; Acts 2:1; 1 Corinthians 1:10, 12:20, 12:27; Ephesians 1:23; 2:21, 2:22, 4:2-6; Philippians 2:2, 3:15

Verse 12 Exodus 26:5, 26:10 Reciprocal 26:4 - loops of blue Verse 13 so it became 1 Corinthians 12:20; Ephesians 2:20-22; 1 Peter 2:4, 2:5 Reciprocal Exodus 26:6 - taches of gold Verse 14 Exodus 26:7-13 Reciprocal 36:19 - rams' skins dyed red Verse 17 Reciprocal Exodus 26:4 - loops of blue; 27:9 - hangings for Verse 18 Reciprocal Exodus 26:6 - taches of gold; 40:2 - tabernacle Verse 19 covering Exodus 26:14 rams' skins dyed redThis was the third covering of the tabernacle. The first and lowermost was made of fine linen, richly embroidered with figures of cherubim, in shades of blue, purple, and scarlet - 36:8-13. It is reasonable to suppose, that the right side of this curtain was undermost, and so it formed a beautiful ceiling in the inside of the tabernacle. The second covering, which lay over the embroidered one, was made of a sort of mohair - 36:14-17
and the fourth, or uppermost one, which was to keep the others from the weather, was made of tachash, or badgers' skins.
Verse 20 boards Exodus 26:15-25, 40:18, 40:19 shittim wood 25:5, 25:10; Numbers 25:1; Deuteronomy 10:3 Reciprocal Exodus 36:21 - The length; Numbers 3:36 - under the custody and charge Verse 21 The lengthEach of these boards, taking the cubit at nearly twenty-two inches, was about eighteen feet long, and two feet nine inches broad. As these boards are said to be standing up - Exodus 36:20
their length was consequently the height of the tabernacle; and as the two sides were composed of twenty of these, standing up - 36:23 and 36:25
and the west end of six, with two boards to project at the corners - 36:27 and 36:28
the tabernacle must therefore, have been thirty cubits, or fifty-five feet long, and about ten cubits, or eighteen feet broad. These boards were fastened at the bottom by two tenons in each board, which fitted into two mortices in the foundation, at the top by links or hasps, and on the sides by five wooden bars, which ran through rings or staples in each of the boards. The boards and bars were all overlaid with gold; and their rings for the staves, and their hasps at top, were of the same metal. The foundation on which they stood consisted of about ninety-six solid blocks of silver, two under each board, about eighteen inches long, and of a suitable thickness; and each weighing a talent, or about a hundred weight. Four blocks of silver formed the bases of the columns which supported the curtain that divided the inside of the tabernacle into two rooms.

Verse 32 the tabernacle Exodus 26:26
Verse 34 Reciprocal 1 Kings 6:21 - overlaid Verse 35 veil of blueParachoth, from parach, to separate, divide, make a distinction between somewhat, the inner vail, which divided the tabernacle into two, and separated, and made a distinction between the Holy place and the Holy of Holies. This vail was made of the same rich materials as the inner covering of the tabernacle, and curiously embroidered with cherubim and other ornaments. Though it does not appear from Scripture at what distance from either end of the tabernacle this vail was hung, yet is reasonably conjectured, that it divided it in the same proportion in which the temple, built after this model, was divided; that is, two-thirds of the whole length were allotted to the first room, and one-third to the second; so that the room beyond the vail, the Holy of Holies, was exactly square, being ten cubits each way, and the first room, the sanctuary, was twice as long as it was broad. Exodus 26:31-35, 30:6, 40:21; Matthew 27:51; Habakkuk 3:1 Reciprocal Exodus 35:12 - the veil; 40:3 - General; Numbers 3:31 - and the hanging; 4:5 - they shall; Habakkuk 3:1 - the second Verse 36 Jeremiah 1:18 Reciprocal Exodus 26:32 - their hooks shall be of gold; 26:33 - the taches; 35:12 - the veil; 40:3 - General; Numbers 3:31 - and the hanging; 3:36 - under the custody and charge Verse 37 an hangingThis vail was a fine embroidered curtain, of the same materials and of the same workmanship as the inner vail and inner covering of the tabernacle. The text does not say how low it hung. Philo makes it touch the ground; but Josephus will have it to come down but half way, so that the people might have a view of the inside of the tabernacle; but then he says there was another curtain over that, which came to the ground, to keep it from the weather, and was drawn aside on the sabbath and other festivals.
