Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet,.... Wool or yarn of either of the colours; unless it can be supposed there might be with some of them the ingredients with which colours were made, brought with them out of Egypt:
and fine linen; they had brought out of Egypt, and for which that country was famous:
and goats' hair; which in those countries was so long as to be shorn like the wool of sheep:
and red skins of the rams; died red, for it does not mean any that were naturally so, of which none are known:
and badgers' skins; see Exodus 25:5 of each of these, such who had them in their possession, and their hearts were willing to part with them:
brought them; to Moses, to the tabernacle or tent where he was.
