excess/overhang—portion extending beyond
This noun designates what remains over or extends beyond—specifically used of the tabernacle's tent covering that hung down beyond the structure. The term appears in Exodus instructions for the tent of meeting, describing how the extra length of the goat-hair covering should drape. The concept is excess or surplus, what extends past the needed measurement. This architectural detail ensured complete coverage and weather protection.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Architectural term for excess or overhang, specifically of the tabernacle's tent covering (Exod 26:12). The goat-hair curtain extended beyond the structure's dimensions, creating protective overhang. The term emphasizes the surplus portion that remains after primary coverage. Spanish 'lo que cuelga' (what hangs down) aptly describes the draping effect. The detail shows careful design for weather protection. 1×
