Exodus 26:22 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:22

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.
