Exodus 26:17 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:17

Two tenons shall there be on one board
Every board was to be so cut and shaped at the lower end of it, as to have, as it were, "two hands" F18, as in the original, to enter into, lay hold on, and fasten in mortises:

set in order one against another;
at a proper distance from each other, as the rounds of a ladder:

thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle;
everyone was to have two tenons.

Exodus 26:17 In-Context

15 facies et tabulas stantes tabernaculi de lignis setthim
16 quae singulae denos cubitos in longitudine habeant et in latitudine singulos ac semissem
17 in lateribus tabulae duae incastraturae fient quibus tabula alteri tabulae conectatur atque in hunc modum cunctae tabulae parabuntur
18 quarum viginti erunt in latere meridiano quod vergit ad austrum
19 quibus quadraginta bases argenteas fundes ut binae bases singulis tabulis per duos angulos subiciantur
