Verse 1

Moses comitteth the work to Bezaleel and Aholiab Exodus 36:1-4. The liberality of the people is forbid Exodus 36:5, 6. The curtains of cherubims, Exodus 36:8-13. The curtains of goats' hair, &c. all belonging to the tabernacle, Exodus 36:14-38. Of the sanctuary, or, of the holy place, to wit, of the tabernacle, so called by a prolepsis and synecdoche.

Verse 2

God had qualified them before, but that is not sufficient without a call.

Verse 3

Which time they chose as the first and best part of the day, and therefore for fittest for God's service.

Verse 4-6

The women did part of this work as well as the men. See Exodus 35:25.

Verse 7-14

i. e. For the outward covering of the tabernacle. See Exodus 35:11.

Verse 15-35

To wit, the second veil, which separated between the holy place and the holy of holies, because the first veil is described Exodus 36:37.

Verse 36, 37

This door divided the holy place from the court.

Verse 38

Whereas the pillars are said to be overlaid with gold, Exodus 36:37, that hence appears to be a syncedochial expression, in regard the tops and knobs of the pillars were wholly overlaid with gold, and the rest of the pillars adorned with divers golden girdles or hoops; for that place is in all reason to be explained by this, as coming after it, and containing the execution of that prescript, and that more particularly than is there expressed.
