2 The length of each[a] curtain is to be 42 feet, and the width of each curtain is to be 6 feet[b]—the same size for each of the curtains. 3 Five curtains are to be joined,[c] one to another,[d] and the other[e] five curtains are to be joined, one to another. 4 You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you are to make loops[f] in the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.

- Exodus 26:2 tn Heb “one” (so KJV).
- Exodus 26:2 tn Heb “28 cubits” long and “4 cubits” wide.
- Exodus 26:3 tn This is the active participle, not the passive. It would normally be rendered “joining together.” The Bible uses the active because it has the result of the sewing in mind, namely, that every curtain accompanies another (U. Cassuto, Exodus, 348).
- Exodus 26:3 tn Heb “a woman to her sister,” this form of using nouns to express “one to another” is selected because “curtains” is a feminine noun (see GKC 448 §139.e).
- Exodus 26:3 tn The phrase “the other” has been supplied.
- Exodus 26:4 tn Here “loops” has been supplied.
