Exode 26:24

24 Elles seront doubles par le bas, mais en même temps elles seront pleines par le haut jusqu'au premier anneau; il en sera ainsi pour toutes les deux; elles seront pour les deux angles.

Exode 26:24 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:24

And they shall be coupled together beneath
At the bottom of the boards or planks:

and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one
ring
at the top of the boards there was a ring, to which they were coupled and fastened, and so at the bottom of them, though not expressed: some understand this of all the planks, both at the two sides and at the west end; but it seems rather to respect only the corner planks, since it follows:

thus shall it be for them both, they shall be for the two corners;
which were coupled and joined alike at each corner as if they were twins, as the word used signifies; or the meaning is, that these were double boards, and so like twins, which were so closely put together that they seemed but one board; which was done that the corners might be thicker and stronger, and so for the greater firmness of the building.

Exode 26:24 In-Context

22 Tu feras six planches pour le fond de la Demeure vers l'Occident.

23 Tu feras aussi deux planches pour les angles de la Demeure, au fond.

24 Elles seront doubles par le bas, mais en même temps elles seront pleines par le haut jusqu'au premier anneau; il en sera ainsi pour toutes les deux; elles seront pour les deux angles.

25 Il y aura donc huit planches et leurs seize soubassements d'argent; deux soubassements sous une planche, et deux soubassements sous une autre planche.

26 Tu feras aussi cinq traverses de bois de Sittim, pour les planches d'un côté de la Demeure;
