Ministry on This Verse

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.
Ex. 26:36‑37• 36And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
 37And 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. (Ex. 26:36‑37)
;
Ex. 40:28• 28And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle. (Ex. 40:28)
of needlework.

Ex. 26:36• 36And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. (Ex. 26:36)
• The five pillars and their hanging are thus closely connected, both pointing to the person of our Lord. If we may speak of the inner veil as the testimony of the Church to Christ, we may speak of the outer hanging as our Lord’s own testimony to what He is. The four colors are here, but not embroidered in the form of cherubim; for, looking outward, He is inviting men to enter, and He “came not to judge the world, but to save the world” (John 12:47). (“The Linen Curtains - Their Dimensions and So Forth” by S. Ridout)
• Christ then, “according to the Scriptures,” is the door, the only way of approach to God: “No man cometh unto the Father but by Me” (John 14:6). He has fully magnified God’s word and carried out its every provision and requirement. That holy Word, which would have condemned us forever, is now to us the vehicle of divine and eternal love in Christ. Like the hanging at the entrance of the tabernacle, He is the door of entrance to God, and welcomes every soul to draw near in assurance of a divine and permanent welcome. “By Me if any man enter in he shall be saved.” (“The Linen Curtains - Their Dimensions and So Forth” by S. Ridout)
