Exodus 36:23-33

23 They made twenty frames for the south side

24 and forty silver bases to go under them, two bases under each frame to hold its two projections.

25 They made twenty frames for the north side of the Tent

26 and forty silver bases, two under each frame.

27 For the back of the Tent, on the west, they made six frames

28 and two frames for the corners.

29 These corner frames were joined at the bottom and connected all the way to the top. The two frames that formed the two corners were made in this way.

30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.

31 They made fifteen crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the Tent,

32 five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end, at the back.

33 The middle crossbar, set halfway up the frames, extended from one end of the Tent to the other.
