Exodus 26:18

26:18 So you are to make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side, 1 

Exodus 26:22-29

26:22 And for the back of the tabernacle on the west 2  you will make six frames. 26:23 You are to make two frames for the corners 3  of the tabernacle on the back. 26:24 At the two corners 4  they must be doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So it will be for both. 26:25 So there are to be eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next frame.

26:26 “You are to make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 26:27 and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames on the back of the tabernacle on the west. 26:28 The middle bar in the center of the frames will reach from end to end. 5  26:29 You are to overlay the frames with gold and make their rings of gold to provide places for the bars, and you are to overlay the bars with gold.

1 tn Heb “on the south side southward.”

2 tn Or “westward” (toward the sea).

3 sn The term rendered “corners” is “an architectural term for some kind of special corner structure. Here it seems to involve two extra supports, one at each corner of the western wall” (N. M. Sarna, Exodus [JPSTC], 170).

4 tn Heb “they will be for the two corners.” This is the last clause of the verse, moved forward for clarity.

5 sn These bars served as reinforcements to hold the upright frames together. The Hebrew term for these bars is also used of crossbars on gates (Judg 16:3; Neh 3:3).
