Context of Exodus 36:31

29They were paired at the bottom and joined together at the top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners. 30So there were eight supports with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under each one. He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle, 32five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west. 33He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other.
