And for the sides of the tabernacle
Or the ends of it, the east and west, and the account begins with the west:

westward thou shalt make six boards;
so that the breadth of the tabernacle was but nine cubits, or four yards and a half, according to a common cubit; but two boards more placed at the two corners of the sides, next observed, added to the breadth of it.

21 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board.
