outermost, at the end (of a series or edge)
An adjective meaning outermost or at the end, appearing exclusively in Exodus 26, 36 describing the tabernacle curtains. It specifies which curtain is 'at the end' or 'outermost' in the set—the one at the edge of the series that will be joined to the next set. The term helps distinguish the exterior curtain (where loops and clasps attach) from interior ones. This precise architectural terminology ensures correct tabernacle construction.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Exodus 26:4 and 26:10 (with parallels in 36:11, 36:17) describe making loops on the edge of 'the outermost curtain' (הַיְרִיעָה הַקִּיצֹנָה) in each set. This specifies which curtain in the series gets the attachment loops for joining the sets together. Spanish exterior/extrema (outer/extreme) and French outermost all identify this as the curtain at the end or edge of the set—critical for proper tabernacle assembly. 4×
