Exo 26:17

Exo 26:17with two projections per frame parallel one to another. You are to make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

Exo 26:18

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

Exo 26:19

Exo 26:19and you are to make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames - two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections;

Exo 26:20

Exo 26:20and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty frames,

Exo 26:21

Exo 26:23You are to make two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back.

Exo 26:24

Exo 26:24At the two corners they must be doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So it will be for both.
