Boards and Sockets

¹⁵ “Then you shall make ^(A)the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. ¹⁶ Ten cubits shall be the length of ^[a]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. ¹⁷ There shall be two tenons for each board, ^[b]fitted to one another; thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. ¹⁸ You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards ^[c]for the south side. ¹⁹ You shall make forty ^[d](B)sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two ^[e]sockets under one board for its two tenons and two ^[f]sockets under another board for its two tenons; ²⁰ and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, ²¹ and their forty ^[g]sockets of silver; two ^[h]sockets under one board and two ^[i]sockets under another board. ²² For the ^[j]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. ²³ You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the ^[k]rear. ²⁴ They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete ^[l]to its top ^[m]to the first ring; thus it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners. ²⁵ There shall be eight boards with their ^[n]sockets of silver, sixteen ^[o]sockets; two ^[p]sockets under one board and two ^[q]sockets under another board.

²⁶ “Then you shall make ^(C)bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, ²⁷ and five bars for the boards of the ^[r]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the ^[s]rear side to the west. ²⁸ The middle bar in the ^[t]center of the boards shall pass through from end to end. ²⁹ You shall overlay the boards with gold and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold.
