Editor's Notes
- God is progressive in revelation of His truth. He always moves from the lower to the higher level. Moves from the ritual to the reality. Materials are given to us in two places. Ex 25:1-7 and Ex 35:4-9
- The tabernacle proper was made of 48 acacia wood frames, which were traditionally referred to as boards or planks, these frames were ten cubits (15ft.) long and one and a half cubits (27") wide and one cubit (18") thick. For a long time the frames were thought of as being solid boards. The idea of solid boards is " exegetically and intrinsically inadmissible" according to the Dictionary of the Bible by Grant & Rowley. They explain that Exodus 26:15-17 contains several obscure technical terms but that a better translation of verse 15 would be " and thou shalt make the frames for the dwelling of acacia wood, two uprights (ev tenons) for each frame joined together by crossrails". This view was put forward by A.R.S. Kennedy as is seen in the Hastings Dictionary of the Bible in 1902 and is now generally accepted. However, there is a continuing open discussion as to whether they were solid boards or panels or a wooden framework consisting of skeleton panels or open frames and were plated with sheets of gold (Ex.26:16). Since acacia trees used for the wood do not grow any great size in the Sinai peninsula, no boards 27" wide would have been obtainable. The view that each side wall consisted of 20 panels or frames 15' x 27" x 9", is preferred. Each frame had two tenons (extensions beyond the bottom crossrail) at its foot to enter sockets made of silver. The acacia wood frame covered with Gold and the silver socket as described by A.R.S. Kennedy The interpretation of Exodus 26:22-25 has been and remains a problem, but the suggestion of a pair of frames fastened together at each corner of the west side or rear of the frame work. The thought is that they were sloping upward and inward from their own bases to just under the top crossrail. These frames would then form a projecting buttress to strengthen the corners and to take the folds in the curtains. However this is only possible on the assumption that the frames were a half cubit or nine inches in depth ( i.e. 6 x 1.5 = 9 cubits giving the six rear frames, plus 2 x .5 cubits depth of the sides making the 10 cubits in all ). But if the sides were a quarter of a cubit in depth (4.5"), then the eight frames that formed the rear would be like this, six frames identical in size to those on the side, being two and a half cubits wide. This leaves a 4.5" gap at each end at the rear of the tabernacle which would have been fill by a frame end on, therefore forming the buttress, sloping upward and inward as described above. Perhaps the outside sloping upright was double width there by tying off the corner.
