27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
27 For the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames.
27 For the rear of The Dwelling facing west, they made six frames,
27 For the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
27 He made six frames for the rear-the west side of the Tabernacle-
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 36:27

The making of the tabernacle The liberality of the people restrained.
The readiness and zeal with which these builders set about their work, the exactness with which they performed it, and the faithfulness with which they objected to receive more contributions, are worthy of our imitation. Thus should we serve God, and our superiors also, in all things lawful. Thus should all who are in public trusts abhor filthy lucre, and avoid all occasions and temptations to covetousness. Where have we the representation of God's love towards us, that we by love dwell in him and he in us, save in Emmanuel? John 1:14, wherein, as the original expresses it, he did tabernacle among us.
