This council was composed of the High Priest, the Sagan (the deputy or Suffragan of the High Priest), two Katholikin, who had charge of the treasuries, three Gizbarim, who were assistants of the Katholikin, and seven Ammarcalin, who had charge of the gates. 592 The Nethinim, or the “given ones,” were added, it is supposed, from among the Gibeonites to fill up the deficiencies in the number of Levites who returned from the captivity in Babylon. They were held in low estimation, and were forbidden to intermarry with Israelites. 593 Exod. xxxviii. 27. 594 Exod. xxvi. 31-33. 595 Exod. xxvi. 19. 596 Exod. xxvi. 17. 597 Exod. xvi. 24 598 Exod. xxvi. 28. 599 Exod. xxvi. 29. 600 Exod. xxvi. 29. 601 Exod. xxvi. 1. 602 Exod. xxvi. 3. 603 Exod. xxvi. 4. 604 Exod. xxvi. 6. 605 Exod. xxvi. 2. 606 Exod. xxvi. 2. 607 Exod. xxvi. 7, 8. 608 Exod. xxvi. 9. 609 Exod. xxxvi. 17. 610 Exod. xxvi. 11. 611 Exod. xxvi. 8. 612 Exod. xxvi. 9. 613 Exod. xxvi. 12. 614 Some commentators explain these to be “skins of seals” or “dolphins,” and others understand the meaning to be a “blue color.” Exod. xxvi. 14. 615 Num. iv. 25. 616 Exod. xxvi. 33. 617 Exod. xxvi. 35. 618 Or, in the “House of dispensations.” 619 Exod. xxxix. 3. 620 Exod. xxvi. 31. 621 Exod. xxvi. 36. 622 Exod. xxx. 6. 623 Exod. xxvii. 9. 624 Exod. xxvii. 11. 625 Exod. xxvii. 12. 626 Exod. xxvii. 13. 627 Exod. xxxviii. 14, 15. 628 Exod. xxvii. 18. 629 Exod. xxvii. 18. 630 Exod. xxvii. 19. 631 Num. iv. 26. 632 Exod. xxvii. 18. 633 Some explain this to mean “multiply fifty with 100” (Aruch); others think that the measurement is to be made with a rope of fifty cubits (Eruvin). 634 Some read “in the name of,” etc. 635 Exod. xxv. 10. 636 Sol.
