Torah Temimah — Shabbos 28a

Core Text of Chazal

מִמִּשְׁכָּן. כְּתִיב הָכָא: ״זֹאת הַתּוֹרָה אָדָם כִּי יָמוּת בְּאֹהֶל״, וּכְתִיב הָתָם: ״וַיִּפְרוֹשׂ אֶת הָאֹהֶל עַל הַמִּשְׁכָּן״. מַה לְּהַלָּן שֶׁל פִּשְׁתָּן קָרוּי ״אֹהֶל״ — אַף כָּאן שֶׁל פִּשְׁתָּן קָרוּי ״אֹהֶל״.

English

The Gemara derives the laws of an ohel from the Mishkan: just as the Mishkan’s flax covering is called an ohel, so a flax covering is called an ohel. The passage continues by defining what aspects of the Mishkan construction are included in the analogy.
