* 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.
