Exodus 26:9

26:9 You are to join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. You are to double over ¹  the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.

Exodus 26:11

26:11 You are to make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it is a unit. ² 

Exodus 26:13

26:13 The foot and a half ³  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. ⁴ 

Exodus 31:7

31:7 the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the atonement lid that is on it, all the furnishings ⁵  of the tent,

Exodus 33:8-10

33:8 And when Moses went out ⁶  to the tent, all the people would get up ⁷  and stand at the entrance to their tents ⁸  and watch ⁹  Moses until he entered the tent. ¹⁰  33:9 And ¹¹  whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord ¹²  would speak with Moses. ¹³  33:10 When all the people would see the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people, each one at the entrance of his own tent, would rise and worship. ¹⁴ 

Exodus 39:33

39:33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings, clasps, frames, bars, posts, and bases;

Exodus 39:38

39:38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

[26:9]  ¹ sn The text seems to describe this part as being in front of the tabernacle, hanging down to form a valence at the entrance (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 284).

[26:11]  ² tn Heb “one”

[26:13]  ³ tn Literally “cubit.”

[26:13]  ⁴ 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).

[31:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “all the vessels of the tent.”

[33:8]  ⁵ tn The clause is introduced again with “and it was.” The perfect tense here with the vav (ו) is used to continue the sequence of actions that were done repeatedly in the past (see GKC 331-32 §112.e). The temporal clause is then formed with the infinitive construct of יָצָא (yatsa’), with “Moses” as the subjective genitive: “and it was according to the going out of Moses.”

[33:8]  ⁶ tn Or “rise up.”

[33:8]  ⁷ tn The subject of this verb is specified with the individualizing use of “man”: “and all Israel would station themselves, each person (man) at the entrance to his tent.”

[33:8]  ⁸ tn The perfect tense with the vav (ו) continues the sequence of the customary imperfect. The people “would gaze” (after) Moses until he entered the tent.

[33:8]  ⁹ tn This is a temporal clause using an infinitive construct with a suffixed subject.

[33:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “and it was when.”

[33:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:9]  ⁸ tn Both verbs, “stand” and “speak,” are perfect tenses with vav (ו) consecutive.

[33:10]  ⁷ tn All the main verbs in this verse are perfect tenses continuing the customary sequence (see GKC 337 §112.kk). The idea is that the people would get up (rise) when the cloud was there and then worship, meaning in part bow down. When the cloud was not there, there was access to seek God.
