Ex. 38:1–20 The pieces described are those in the court that surrounds the tabernacle (vv. 9–20; see 27:9–19). See illustration of the tabernacle and its court.
Ex. 38:8 The mirrors given by the women were highly polished pieces of bronze. They were probably among the treasures brought out of Egypt during the exodus (see 12:36). The original readers of Exodus would have understood the role of the women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting, but it is not explained anywhere else in the OT. It is referred to elsewhere only in connection with the sin of Eli’s sons (see 1 Sam. 2:22).
