Contextual Overview

1Moses gathered all the congregation of the sons of Israel together, and said to them, "These are the things which the LORD has commanded you to do: 2"For six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD; whoever does any kind of work on that day shall be put to death. 3"You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day." 4And Moses said to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 5'Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever has a willing heart, let him bring it as the LORD'S offering: gold, silver, and bronze, 6blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, fine linen, goats' hair, 7and rams' skins dyed red, and skins of porpoises, and acacia wood, 8and [olive] oil for the lighting, and balsam for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, 9and onyx stones and other stones to be set for the ephod and the breastpiece. 10'Let every skilled and talented man among you come, and make everything that the LORD has commanded:

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The pins: These, as Dr. Wall observes, were not particularly mentioned. Josephus says, that to every board of the tabernacle, and to every pillar of the hangings of the court, there were ropes or cords, fastened at the top of the board or pillar, and that the other end of the rope was fastened to a נבףףבכןע, a nail, or pin, which, at a good distance off, was driven into the ground up to the head, a cubit deep. This was to keep the tabernacle from being blown down by the wind. Dr. Shaw, describing the tents of the Bedouins, says, "These tents are kept firm and steady by bracing or stretching down their eaves with cords tied to wooden hooked pins, well pointed, which they drive into the ground with a mallet; one of these pins answering to the nail, as the mallet does to the hammer, which Jael used in fastening to the ground the temples of Sisera" - Judges 4:21. Exodus 27:19

Reciprocal: Numbers 3:26 - the cords Numbers 3:36 - under the custody and charge Numbers 4:26 - and their cords

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The pins of the tabernacle,.... Which were to fix and fasten the ends of the curtains in the ground, that they might not be moved with the wind, as Jarchi observes:

and the pins of the court, and their cords; which were for the same use; see Exodus 27:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The word “tabernacle” משׁכן mı̂shkān is here used for the full name, the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. It denotes the entire structure.
