Exodus 26:3

Context
26:3 Five curtains are to be joined, 3  one to another, 4  and the other 5  five curtains are to be joined, one to another.

Exodus 36:9

Context
36:9 The length of one curtain was forty-two feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet – the same size for each of the curtains.

1 tn Heb “a man…his brother.”

2 tn The perfect tense in this context requires the somewhat rare classification of a potential perfect.

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).

4 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).

5 tn The phrase “the other” has been supplied.
