Exodus 35:18

The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

Pins of the tabernacle ... pins of the court, and their cords. No mention having been made of these in Exodus 25:1, it may be noticed that Josephus says, 'that to every board of the tabernacle, and to every pillar of the hangings of the court, there were cords attached at the top of the board or pillar, and that the further end of the cords or ropes was fastened to brass nails of a cubit long, which at every pillar were driven deep into the ground, and would keep the tabernacle from being shaken by the violence of winds' ('Antiquities,' b. 3:, ch.

vi., sec. 2).
