Context — Instructions for the Tabernaclegenerated

32Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

33And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

35And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

Exodus 26:33 describes the specific instructions given to Moses regarding the construction of the tabernacle. This verse highlights the importance of the veil, which separates the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, a key element in the worship practices of the Israelites. The tabernacle serves as a dwelling place for God's presence among His people, and the careful arrangement of its components reflects the sacredness of worship.

The Key Word — הַפָּרֹכֶת, ha.pa.Ro.khetgenerated

The word הַפָּרֹכֶת (ha.pa.ro.khet) refers specifically to a curtain or veil used in the tabernacle, derived from a root meaning to shut off. It signifies a physical barrier that separates the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, emphasizing the sacredness of these areas.

The parsing indicates that it is a feminine singular noun, which aligns with its usage in the context of the tabernacle. The veil's role is crucial, as it not only serves as a divider but also symbolizes the separation between God and humanity.

How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.

Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verbs in this verse are נָתַתָּה (you will put), הֵבֵאתָ (you will bring), and הִבְדִּילָה (it will separate). The structure is sequential, with actions building upon one another.

The sentence emphasizes the placement of the veil and the ark, showing a clear flow of instructions. The arrangement of clauses illustrates the relationship between the actions and the objects involved, particularly the separation of sacred spaces.

This translation choice indicates a continuity in the understanding of the veil's function across both the Hebrew and Greek texts, emphasizing its role as a barrier in the sacred space.

(33) Thou shall hang up the vail under the taches.—The “taches” meant are the links whereby the two portions of the inner covering were connected together (Exodus 26:6). If “under the taches” means directly under them, we must regard the mishkân as divided into two chambers of equal size. It is possible, however, that “under” may be used with some vagueness, and that the “Holy of Holies” may in the tabernacle, as well as in the Temple, have been only half the size of the outer chamber. That thou mayest bring in.—Heb., and thou shalt bring in.

In consequence of the identification at the time, the prophets have "Libya" (Libues), except Nab 3:9, where the Greek renders the word as phuge, "flight." The Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) has "Phut," "Phuth," and in the Prophets "Libyes" and "Libya"; the King James Version "Phut."

2. Son of Ham:

In the "Table of Nations" Put is the third son of Ham (Ge 10:6), the first and second being Cush and Misraim, and the fourth Canaan. Put is the only one of the sons of Ham who is not credited with descendants.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

sep'-a-rat: The translation of a number of Hebrew and Greek words, badhal (Le 20:24, etc.), and aphorizo (Mt 25:32, etc.), being the most common. "To separate" and "to consecrate" were originally not distinguished (e.g. Nu 6:2 margin), and probably the majority of the uses of "separate" in English Versions of the Bible connote "to set apart for God." But precisely the same term that is used in this sense may also denote the exact opposite (e.g. the use of nazar in Eze 14:7 and Zec 7:3).

1. The Terms:

The tabernacle consisted of two divisions to which a graduated scale of holiness is attached: "The veil shall separate unto you between the holy place and the most holy" (Ex 26:33). This distinction was never abrogated. In the Epistle to the Hebrews these divisions are called the "first" and "second" tabernacles (Heb 9:6 f). The term "holy place" is not indeed confined to the outer chamber of the sanctuary; in Le 6:16, it is applied to "the court of the tent of meeting." But the…

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Holy place

One of the two portions into which the tabernacle was divided (Ex. 26:31; 37:17-25; Heb. 9:2). It was 20 cubits long and 10 in height and breadth. It was illuminated by the golden candlestick, as it had no opening to admit the light. It contained the table of showbread (Ex. 25:23-29) and the golden altar of incense (30:1-11). It was divided from the holy of holies by a veil of the most costly materials and the brightest colours.

The arrangement of the temple (q.v.) was the same in this respect. In it the walls of hewn stone were wainscotted with cedar and overlaid with gold, and adorned with beautiful carvings. It was entered from the porch by folding doors overlaid with gold and richly embossed. Outside the holy…
