Whereas the pillars are said to be overlaid with gold, Exo 36:37, that hence appears to be a syncedochial expression, in regard the tops and knobs of the pillars were wholly overlaid with gold, and the rest of the pillars adorned with divers golden girdles or hoops; for that place is in all reason to be explained by this, as coming after it, and containing the execution of that prescript, and that more particularly than is there expressed.

Verse 38. The five pillars of it with their hooks] Their capitals. See Clarke on Ex 26:32, c.
THERE is scarcely any thing particular in this chapter that has not been touched on before both it and the following to the end of the book being in general a repetition of what we have already met in detail in the preceding chapters from chap. xxv. to xxxi. inclusive, and to those the reader is requested to refer. God had before commanded this work to be done, and it was necessary to record the execution of it to show that all was done according to the pattern shown to Moses; without this detailed account we should not have known whether the work had ever been executed according to the directions given.

At the commencement of this chapter the reader will observe that I have advanced the dates A. M. and B.C. one year, without altering the year of the exodus, which at first view may appear an error; the reason is, that the above dates commenced at Tisri, but the years of the exodus are dated from Abib.

38. their chapiters and their fillets with gold] For ‘chapiters’ we should now say capitals; the ‘fillets’ (see on Exo_27:10) were bands of metal surrounding the pillars just below the chapiters. In Exo_26:37 the chapiters and fillets are not mentioned; and the five acacia-wood pillars are to be entirely overlaid with gold. As Di. points out, by the partial gilding a gradation would be obtained: (a) the pillars at the entrance to the Most Holy place overlaid entirely with gold (v. 36, Exo_26:32); (b) the pillars at the entrance to the Tent overlaid only at the top with gold (Exo_36:38); (c) the pillars at the entrance to the Court (like those of the Court generally, Exo_27:17, Exo_38:17) overlaid only at the top with silver (Exo_38:19).
