Study note
Setting — The narrator describes the craftsmen executing the tabernacle assembly at this stage of the construction sequence.
The words — הַבְּרִיחַ הַתִּיכֹן (ha.be.Ri.ach ha.ti.Khon) translates literally as the middle bar, while לִבְרֹחַ (li.v.Ro.ach) denotes the action to pass through.
The thread — The verse continues the technical description of the tabernacle's wooden framework, bridging the placement of the side and rear frames with the subsequent gold overlay of those same structures.
Why it lands — It requires the reader to track the precise engineering sequence of the sanctuary's construction, noting how structural stability is achieved through specific alignment before decorative work begins.
