Context of Exodus 26:27

25So there will be eight boards at the back of the tabernacle and 16 silver bases, two bases under each board. 26You must also use acacia wood to make bars to fix across the boards. Make five bars for the south side of the tabernacle, five bars for the north side, and five bars for the west side at the back of the tabernacle. 28The bar that goes across the centre of the boards must reach from one end of the tabernacle to the other end. 29Use gold to cover the boards and to make rings for the boards. These rings will hold the bars in place across the boards. Also cover the wooden bars with gold.

The wall was further held together by bars, which passed through rings of gold. Over this the curtains were spread. Though movable, it was strong and firm. The…Read the comment
