Exodus 26:15-30: The Boards and Structure of the Tabernacle

These verses give detailed instructions for making the wooden boards that formed the walls of the tabernacle. The boards supported the beautiful curtains and coverings, making the whole structure strong and stable. God wanted everything in His house to be both strong and beautiful. The design also shows how the church and our faith need a solid foundation to stand firm.

v. 15-17: The boards for the tabernacle were made from shittim wood and made to stand upright. Each board was ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. Each board had two tenons (projections) to fit into sockets, making the structure stable (Exodus 26:15-17 a).
