Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Exodus 36:37

_ _ made an hanging for the ... door — Curtains of elaborately wrought needlework are often suspended over the entrance to tents of the great nomad sheiks, and throughout Persia, at the entrance of summer tents, mosques, and palaces. They are preferred as cooler and more elegant than wooden doors. This chapter contains an instructive narrative: it is the first instance of donations made for the worship of God, given from the wages of the people’s sufferings and toils. They were acceptable to God (Philippians 4:18), and if the Israelites showed such liberality, how much more should those whose privilege it is to live under the Christian dispensation (1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 16:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 36:35-38.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Exodus 36:37

An hanging — Which divided the holy place from the court.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Cross-Reference Topical ResearchStrong's Concordance
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 26:36-37 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. ... And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars [of] shittim [wood], and overlay them with gold, [and] their hooks [shall be of] gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.
Exodus 40:28 And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.

of needlework:
Heb. the work of a needle worker, or embroider,
Exodus 26:36 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
