Exodus 26:25 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:25

And they shall be eight boards
Six at the west end and one at each corner, northwest and southwest:

and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets
the same as those for the boards on both sides north and south: they were of the same metal, silver; and they were two under one board, to receive its two tenons as follows:

two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board;
and so under all eight, and which sockets joining with those of the two sides, and in all made ninety six, were the basis and foundation of the tabernacle, and was a figure of Christ, the only foundation of his church and people; and the several tenons of the boards joined into those sockets of silver may denote the union of the members of Christ and ministers of his word to him, and their dependence on him.
