Exodus 26:24

coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Moses conveys God's specifications to the Israelites during the tabernacle's construction, detailing how the corner frames must be assembled.

The words — תֹֽאֲמִים (toʾamim) translates as "twins" or paired elements, while תַמִּים (tamim) means "complete" or "whole," describing the structural integrity of the corner pieces.

The thread — The same construction instruction repeats in Exodus 36:29, and the paired unity motif runs through Psalms 133:1 and 1 Corinthians 1:10.

Why it lands — The text commands builders to join separate components into a single, unbroken framework, requiring exact alignment and structural completeness in the sanctuary's design.

King James Version

And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
