Exodus 26:27 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:27

And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle
Suppose the north, these bars were disposed of in the same manner as those on the south side:

and five bars for the boards of that side of the tabernacle;
or the end of it, the west end, as follows:

for the two sides westward;
that is, the two corners at the west end, the southwest and the northwest corners; and these five bars reached from the one to the other, two at the upper part of the boards, and two at the lower part, and one in the middle.

Exodus 26:27 In-Context

25 And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.
26 Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.
27 And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:
28 And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards, from one end to the other.
29 The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shalt cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together the boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.
