* hanging.
This may be termed the first vail, as it occupied the door or
entrance to the tabernacle; the vail that separated the Holy
of Holies is called the second vail, Heb 9:3. Mr. Morier,
(Second Journey Through Persia, p. 251,) describing the tent
of a chief of the Eelauts, says, "It was composed of a wooden
frame of circular laths, which were fixed on the ground, and
then covered over with large felts, that were fastened down
by a cord, ornamented by tassels of various colours. A
curtain, curiously worked by the women, with coarse
needle-work of various colours, was suspended over the door.
In the king of Persia's tents, magnificent {perdahs,} or
hangings of needle-work, are suspended, as well as on the
doors of the great mosques in Turkey; and these circumstances
combined, will, perhaps, illustrate Ex 26:36."
