2 Samuel 7:2; "the ark of God dwelleth within curtains" or "the curtain" meaning the curtain covered tabernacle (Exodus 26:1-13; Exodus 36:8-17), implying its transitoriness and slightness. In Isaiah 54:2 is meant the cloth forming the covering and sides of the tent. Black haircloth is used for the Bedouin's tent. Jeremiah 49:29; Habakkuk 3:7, "curtains," i.e. shifting tents. Song of Solomon 1:5; "the curtains of Solomon" mean the hangings and veil of Solomon's temple, typifying Christ's righteousness, the covering of saints who together constitute the living temple of the antitypical Solomon (Isaiah 61:10; Revelation 19:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16).
