THE HANGING FOR THE DOOR.</span><p>(36, 37) It is essential in the East to shut out light and heat, whence tents have always doors. These are usually made of a piece of cloth, which is raised for a man to enter, and falls behind him. But for a tent of the size described, which seems to have been above twenty-two feet high in the centre, something more was required. The "hanging" spoken of appears to have been a beautifully embroidered curtain, which could be either drawn up or let down, and which was attached by golden "hooks" to five pillars plated with gold, thus dividing the entrance into four equal spaces.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 36, 37.</span> - <span class="accented">The entrance to the tent</span>. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 36.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt make a hanging</span>. A curtain which could draw up and. down, seems to be intended. When let down, it probably covered the entire eastern side, or front of the tabernacle. When raised, it allowed the eye to penetrate into the holy place. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/26-36.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">For the entrance</span><br /><span class="heb">לְפֶ֣תַח</span> <span class="translit">(lə·p̄e·ṯaḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6607.htm">Strong's 6607: </a> </span><span class="str2">An opening, door, entrance way</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to the tent,</span><br /><span class="heb">הָאֹ֔הֶל</span> <span class="translit">(hā·’ō·hel)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_168.htm">Strong's 168: </a> </span><span class="str2">A tent</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you are to make</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעָשִׂ֤יתָ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘ā·śî·ṯā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><br /><span class="word">a curtain</span><br /><span class="heb">מָסָךְ֙</span> <span class="translit">(mā·sāḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4539.htm">Strong's 4539: </a> </span><span class="str2">A covering, screen</span><br /><br /><span class="word">embroidered</span><br /><span class="heb">רֹקֵֽם׃</span> <span class="translit">(rō·qêm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7551.htm">Strong's 7551: </a> </span><span class="str2">To variegate color, embroider, to fabricate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with blue,</span><br /><span class="heb">תְּכֵ֧לֶת</span> <span class="translit">(tə·ḵê·leṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8504.htm">Strong's 8504: </a> </span><span class="str2">The cerulean mussel, the color, obtained therefrom, stuff dyed therewith</span><br /><br /><span class="word">purple,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’ar·gā·mān)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_713.htm">Strong's 713: </a> </span><span class="str2">Purple, red-purple</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and scarlet yarn,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְתוֹלַ֥עַת</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ṯō·w·la·‘aṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8438.htm">Strong's 8438: </a> </span><span class="str2">The crimson-grub, of the color, from it, cloths dyed therewith</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and finely spun</span><br /><span class="heb">מָשְׁזָ֑ר</span> <span class="translit">(mā·šə·zār)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hofal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7806.htm">Strong's 7806: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be twisted</span><br /><br /><span class="word">linen.</span><br /><span class="heb">וְשֵׁ֣שׁ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·šêš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8336.htm">Strong's 8336: </a> </span><span class="str2">Bleached stuff, white linen, marble</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/26-36.htm">Exodus 26:36 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/26-36.htm">OT Law: Exodus 26:36 You shall make a screen (Exo.
