Exodus 26:25

So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — God instructs Moses at Mount Sinai on the exact construction parameters for the tabernacle’s portable sanctuary. The words — קְרָשִׁים (qərāšîm) denotes rigid wooden frames, while אֲדָנִים ('ădānîm) refers to the foundational bases that anchor them. The thread — This structural requirement directly continues the tabernacle blueprint in Exodus 26:24 and Exodus 26:26, where frames are coupled and secured with crossbars. Why it lands — The text demands exact replication of divine measurements, requiring builders to prioritize material integrity and proportional accuracy over aesthetic preference.
