Exodus 36:8-38

The Pulpit Commentary on Exodus 36:8-38

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The remainder of this chapter requires no comment, since it goes over ground already covered. The passage from Exodus 36:8 to Exodus 36:18 corresponds exactly with Exodus 26:1-11; that from Exodus 26:19-34 with Exodus 26:14-29; that consisting of Exodus 26:35, Exodus 26:36, with Exodus 26:33, Exodus 26:34; and the two concluding verses with Exodus 26:36, Exodus 26:37.

Under these circumstances a few mistranslations will alone be noticed.
