8. 铜洗濯盆……是用妇人照镜子的铜做的——当用「镜子」一词,因为那些器物——通常为圆形,镶嵌在木、石或金属的柄中——是用紫铜、银或青铜磨亮而成的[WILKINSON]。埃及妇女惯于携带镜子到庙中;摩西取了希伯来妇人的镜子,是为了使她们不能在会幕中效法类似的习俗,还是因为营中别处紫铜的供应已经耗尽,我们不得而知;但知道她们何等热心而大量地献出这些妇女梳妆所看重的物件,确实令人感动。
那些在会幕门前……聚集的妇人——并非女祭司,而是敬虔有影响力的妇人,她们常到圣所的院子来
(路 2:37),
她们献出镜子,正如拿细耳人剪发,是她们一时舍弃世界的表示[HENGSTENBERG]。
英文原文
8. laver of brass . . . of the looking glasses of the women--The word mirrors should have been used, as those implements, usually round, inserted into a handle of wood, stone, or metal, were made of brass, silver, or bronze, highly polished [WILKINSON]. It was customary for the Egyptian women to carry mirrors with them to the temples; and whether by taking the looking glasses of the Hebrew women Moses designed to put it out of their power to follow a similar practice at the tabernacle, or whether the supply of brass from other sources in the camp was exhausted, it is interesting to learn how zealously and to a vast extent they surrendered those valued accompaniments of the female toilet.
of the women assembling . . . at the door--not priestesses but women of pious character and influence, who frequented the courts of the sacred building
(Lu 2:37),
and whose parting with their mirrors, like the cutting the hair of the Nazarites, was their renouncing the world for a season [HENGSTENBERG].

9. 帷子——院子占地一百五十英尺乘七十五英尺,以约八英尺高的细麻布幔子围成,幔子悬挂在铜柱之上。这些幔子以固定在顶上的杆子稳固,并借着钉在地上的橛子保持展开。
英文原文
9. the court--It occupied a space of one hundred and fifty feet by seventy-five, and it was enclosed by curtains of fine linen about eight feet high, suspended on brazen or copper pillars. Those curtains were secured by rods fastened to the top, and kept extended by being fastened to pins stuck in the ground.

10. 钩子——院子中柱子上的钩子,是为挂祭牲的尸体——会幕入口处柱子上的钩子,是为挂祭司礼服和事奉中所用的其他物件。
英文原文
10. hooks--The hooks of the pillars in the court were for hanging up the carcasses of the sacrificial beasts--those on the pillars at the entry of the tabernacle were for hanging the sacerdotal robes and other things used in the service.

18. 高度与宽度相同——或作「按尺寸」。意即院门二十肘宽的幔子,其高度与院子周围一切幔子相同[WALL]。
英文原文
18. the height in the breadth--or, "in the measure." The sense is that the hangings of the court gate, which was twenty cubits wide, were of the same height as the hangings all round the court [WALL].

21. 这是会幕之数——在描述完会幕各组成部分之后,受感的历史作者转而记述其中所用金银的数量,这是照摩西的吩咐、由利未人在亚伦幼子以他玛的监督下所作的计算。
英文原文
21. This is the sum of the tabernacle--Having completed his description of the component parts of the tabernacle, the inspired historian digresses into a statement respecting the gold and silver employed in it, the computation being made according to an order of Moses--by the Levites, under the direction of Ithamar, Aaron's youngest son.

24. 二十九他连得零七百三十舍客勒——约相当于15万英镑英币。

25. 被数之人的银子——603,550名男子,每人半舍客勒,共捐献301,775舍客勒;按每舍客勒2先令4便士计算,合35,207英镑英币。以色列人在旷野中竟拥有如此多的财富,似乎难以想象;但应当记得,他们先是因埃及人的财物而富足,后又因亚玛力人的掠物而更加丰厚。此外,他们在寄居期间很可能与旷野周边的邻国通商[HEWLETT]。
英文原文
25. the silver of them that were numbered--603,550 men at half a shekel each would contribute 301,775 shekels; which at 2s. 4d. each, amounts to £35,207 sterling. It may seem difficult to imagine how the Israelites should be possessed of so much wealth in the desert; but it should be remembered that they were enriched first by the spoils of the Egyptians, and afterwards by those of the Amalekites. Besides, it is highly probable that during their sojourn they traded with the neighboring nations who bordered on the wilderness [HEWLETT].
