29 and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at the one ring; so he hath done to both of them at the two corners;
And they are pairs beneath, and together they are pairs above its head unto the one ring; so is it for them both, they are for the two corners.
Jerusalem -- the builded one -- `Is' as a city that is joined to itself together.
Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,
and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.
for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,
who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;
Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,
in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,
with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace; one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who `is' over all, and through all, and in you all,
and, being true in love, we may increase to Him `in' all things, who is the head -- the Christ; from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.

Commentary on Exodus 36 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 36
In this chapter,
Exd 36:1-7
Exd 36:8-13
The first work they set about was the framing of the house, which must be done before the furniture of it was prepared. This house was not made of timber or stone, but of curtains curiously embroidered and coupled together. This served to typify the state of the church in this world, the palace of God's kingdom among men.
Exd 36:14-34
Here,
Exd 36:35-38
In the building of a house there is a great deal of work about the doors and partitions. In the tabernacle these were answerable to the rest of the fabric; there were curtains for doors, and veils for partitions.
