1-9.- Устройство ковчега завета. См. толк. 10–22 ст. гл. 25. В настоящем случае внесено лишнее по сравнению с гл. 25 замечание, что устройство ковчега зав. было делом главного строителя скинии Веселиила, и опущены предписания ст. 15–16 и 21–22, так как выполнение их не относилось к обязанностям Веселиила.10-16.- Устройство стола для хлебов предложения. См. толк. 23–30 ст. 25 гл. Опущение предписания ст. 30 объясняется тем же, что и замалчивание предписаний ст. 15–16.17-24.- Устройство золотого светильника См. толк. 31–39 ст. 25 гл.25-28.- Устройство жертвенника курений. См. толк. 1–5 ст. 30 гл. 29. Приготовление мира и курения. См. толк. 23–25 ст. 30 гл.
