18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
18 You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;
18 twenty frames for the south side
18 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side.
18 Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 26:18
Commentary on Exodus 26:15-30
(Read Exodus 26:15-30)
The sockets of silver each weighed about 115 pounds; they were placed in rows on the ground. In every pair of these sockets, a strong board of shittim-wood, covered with plates of gold, was fitted by mortises and tenons. Thus walls were formed for the two sides, and for the west end. The wall was further held together by bars, which passed through rings of gold. Over this the curtains were spread. Though movable, it was strong and firm. The materials were very costly. In all this it was a type of the church of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief Corner-stone, Ephesians 2:20,21.
