Keluaran 26:5-6

26:5 You are to make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you are to make fifty loops on the end curtain which is on the second set, so that the loops are opposite one to another. ¹  26:6 You are to make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle is a unit. ² 

Keluaran 26:17

26:17 with two projections ³  per frame parallel one to another. ⁴  You are to make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

[26:5]  ¹ tn Heb “a woman to her sister.”

[26:6]  ² tn Heb “one”; KJV “it shall be one tabernacle”; NRSV “that the tabernacle may be one whole”; NLT “a single unit.”

[26:17]  ³ sn Heb “hands,” the reference is probably to projections that served as stays or supports. They may have been tenons, or pegs, projecting from the bottom of the frames to hold the frames in their sockets (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 286).

[26:17]  ⁴ tn Or “being joined each to the other.”
