15 "Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
15 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.
15 "You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.
15 "Frame The Dwelling with planks of acacia wood,
15 "And for the tabernacle you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing upright.
15 "For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.

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.
