And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle
As in the manner before described, so in number as follows:

twenty boards on the south side southward;
which being a cubit and a half broad, made the length of the tabernacle fifteen yards according to the common account; but if these were cubits of twenty one inches, then its length was much greater.
