Context — The Construction of the Tabernaclegenerated

10Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
11the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;
12the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;
13the table with its poles, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

Exodus 35:11 describes the various elements that make up the tabernacle, emphasizing the detailed craftsmanship required for its construction. This verse is part of a larger narrative where the Israelites are instructed to build a dwelling place for God, reflecting His desire to dwell among them. The tabernacle serves as a focal point for worship and sacrifice, as outlined in earlier chapters of Exodus.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint and the Samaritan Pentateuch, with the latter differing in two words: בריחיו (bar) and עמודיו (pillar), indicating slight variations in terminology but overall agreement in the structure of the verse.

It is called “the tabernacle of the congregation,” rather “of meeting”, i.e., where God…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The tabernacle was the tent of Jehovah, called by the same name as the tents of the people in the midst of which it stood. It was also called the sanctuary and the tabernacle of the congregation. The first ordinance given to Moses, after the proclamation of the outline of the law from Sinai, related to the ordering of the tabernacle, its furniture and its service as the type which was to be followed when the people came to their own home and "found a place" for the abode of God. During the forty days of Moses’ first retirement with God in Sinai, an exact pattern of the whole was shown him, and all was made according to it. (Exodus 25:9,40; 26:30; 39:32,42,43; Numbers 8:4; Acts 7:44;

A tent, booth, pavilion, or temporary dwelling. For its general meaning and uses, see TENT. In the Scriptures it is employed more particularly of the tent made by Moses at the command of God, for the place of religious worship of the Hebrews, before the building of the temple. The directions of God, and the account of the execution of them, are contained in Ex 25:1-40, and the following chapters. This is usually called the tabernacle of the congregation, or tent of assembly, and sometimes the tabernacle of the testimony.

The tabernacle was of an oblong rectangular form, thirty cubits long, ten broad, and ten in height, Ex 26.15-30; 36.20-30; that is, about fifty-five feet long, eighteen broad, and eighteen high. The two sides and the western end were formed of boards of shittim wood, overlaid with thin plates of gold, and fixed in…
