Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

an hanging: This vail was a fine embroidered curtain, of the same materials and of the same workmanship as the inner vail and inner covering of the tabernacle. The text does not say how low it hung. Philo makes it touch the ground; but Josephus will have it to come down but half way, so that the people might have a view of the inside of the tabernacle; but then he says there was another curtain over that, which came to the ground, to keep it from the weather, and was drawn aside on the sabbath and other festivals. Exodus 26:36, Exodus 26:37, Exodus 40:28

of needlework: Heb. the work of a needle worker, or embroider, Exodus 26:36

Reciprocal: Exodus 27:16 - needlework Exodus 35:15 - the hanging Numbers 3:25 - and the hanging Ezekiel 41:2 - the door
