Compare Exod. xxv. i. xxvi. 1. with 2 Chron. ii. 4; and Exod. xxvi. 31. with 2 Chron. iii. 14. Under each of them bad, linen, is sometimes included, (comp. Exod. xxviii. 42, with Exod. xxxix. 28.) the Orientals usually expressing cotton and linen by the same word: compare the Arabic ka'tanon, linen, linen-cloth, and qutunon, or qutnon, cotton, cotton-cloth.
