20And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

21The length of each frame was ten cubits, and the width of each frame was a cubit and a half.

22Two tenons for each board, joined one to another; thus he made all the boards of the tabernacle.

23He made the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side, toward the south.

24And he made forty silver bases under the twenty frames, two bases under the one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the other frame for its two tenons.

25For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards.

26and their forty silver bases: two bases under the one frame, and two bases under the one frame.

27And for the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six frames.

28And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear.

29They were paired at the bottom, and together they were complete up to its top, to the one ring. Thus he did for both of them, for the two corners.

30There were eight frames, with their silver bases, sixteen bases: two bases under one frame, and two bases under each frame.

31He made five bars of acacia wood for the frames of one side of the tabernacle.

32and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the far rear on the west.

33He made the middle bar to pass through the midst of the boards from end to end.

34He overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
