Exodus 26:13

26:13 The foot and a half ¹  on the one side and the foot and a half on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on one side and the other side, to cover it. ² 

Exodus 37:27

37:27 He also made ³  two gold rings for it under its border, on its two sides, on opposite sides, ⁴  as places ⁵  for poles to carry it with.

[26:13]  ¹ tn Literally “cubit.”

[26:13]  ² sn U. Cassuto states the following: “To the north and to the south, since the tent curtains were thirty cubits long, there were ten cubits left over on each side; these covered the nine cubits of the curtains of the tabernacle and also the bottom cubit of the boards, which the tabernacle curtains did not suffice to cover. It is to this that v. 13 refers” (Exodus, 353).

[37:27]  ³ tn Heb “and he made.”

[37:27]  ⁴ sn Since it was a small altar, it needed only two rings, one on either side, in order to be carried. The second mention of their location clarifies that they should be on the sides, the right and the left, as one approached the altar.

[37:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “for houses.”
