6 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single whole.
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and join the tapestries together so that The Dwelling is one whole.
6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 26:6
Commentary on Exodus 26:1-6
(Read Exodus 26:1-6)
God manifested his presence among the Israelites in a tabernacle or tent, because of their condition in the wilderness. God suits the tokens of his favour, and the gifts of his grace, to his people's state and wants. The curtains of the tabernacle were to be very rich. They were to be embroidered with cherubim, signifying that the angels of God pitch their tents round about the church, Psalm 34:7.
