20. He made boards of acacia wood for the upright framework of the tabernacle.
21. The length of a board was ten cubits and the breadth one cubit and a half.
22. Each board had two tenons (projections) to fit into a mortise to form a clutch; he did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23. And he made thus the boards [for frames] for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side,
24. And he made under the twenty boards forty sockets or bases of silver, two sockets under one board for its two tenons or hands, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25. For the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards
26. And their forty sockets or bases of silver, two sockets under [the end of] each board.
27. And for the rear or west side of the tabernacle he made six [frame] boards.
28. And two boards he made for each corner of the tabernacle in the rear.
29. They were separate below but linked together at the top with one ring; thus he made both of them in both corners.
30. There were eight boards with sixteen sockets or bases of silver, and under [the end of] each board two sockets.
