The instruction to make six frames for the rear highlights the specific and detailed nature of God's commands for the construction of the tabernacle. Each frame was likely made of acacia wood, a durable material that was abundant in the Sinai region. The number six may symbolize human effort, as it is one less than seven, which often represents divine completeness in the Bible. The frames provided structural support, ensuring the tabernacle's stability and durability.<p><b>the west side</b><br>The west side of the tabernacle was significant because it was the direction opposite the entrance, which faced east. In ancient Near Eastern cultures, east was often associated with the rising sun and new beginnings, while the west could symbolize the end or completion. The west side being the rear of the tabernacle may indicate a place of finality or rest. Biblically, the west is sometimes associated with God's presence, as seen in the orientation of the Holy of Holies, which was located at the western end of the tabernacle. This positioning underscores the idea of moving towards God’s presence as one progresses from the entrance to the innermost sanctum.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the instructions for the tabernacle from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable sanctuary that the Israelites used during their journey in the wilderness, serving as a place of worship and the dwelling place of God among His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/west_side_of_the_tabernacle.htm">West Side of the Tabernacle</a></b><br>The specific location within the tabernacle structure where six frames were to be constructed, indicating the detailed and precise nature of God's instructions.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_attention_to_detail.htm">God's Attention to Detail</a></b><br>The specific instructions for the tabernacle, including the six frames for the west side, highlight God's meticulous nature and His desire for order and precision in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_tabernacle.htm">Symbolism of the Tabernacle</a></b><br>The tabernacle serves as a physical representation of God's presence among His people, pointing forward to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_in_worship.htm">Obedience in Worship</a></b><br>The Israelites' adherence to God's detailed instructions for the tabernacle construction underscores the importance of obedience in our worship practices today.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_dwelling_with_his_people.htm">God's Dwelling with His People</a></b><br>The tabernacle signifies God's desire to dwell with His people, a theme that continues through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_26.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 26</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/exodus_26__do_tabernacle_sizes_match_texts.htm">Exodus 26 - How do these tabernacle measurements align or conflict with other biblical or historical texts regarding the scale and feasibility of such a dwelling?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_of_exodus_35_project_in_sinai.htm">(Exodus 35) Is there any concrete historical or archeological evidence to verify that such a grand construction project occurred in the Sinai wilderness?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/evidence_for_exodus_33_7-11_tent.htm">Is there any archaeological or historical evidence for a distinct 'Tent of Meeting' as described in Exodus 33:7-11, given that later passages describe the Tabernacle differently?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_the_bible's_jewish_feasts.htm">What are the Jewish feasts and festivals in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/26.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) <span class= "bld">For the sides of the tabernacle westward.</span>--Rather, <span class= "ital">for the back of the tabernacle </span>(LXX., <span class= "greekheb">??? ?????</span>).

The tenth cubit seems to have been made up by the corner boards, or posts, which are counted with the "six" boards as forming the back of the tabernacle in <a href="/exodus/26-25.htm" title="And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.">Exodus 26:25</a>.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 22, 23.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">For the sides of the tabernacle westward</span>.

The additional cubit required was no doubt obtained from the corner boards, or posts, each of which added to the (internal) width half a cubit (see ver. 23). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/26-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">For the rear</span><br /><span class="heb">וּֽלְיַרְכְּתֵ֥י</span> <span class="translit">(ū·lə·yar·kə·ṯê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - fdc<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3411.htm">Strong's 3411: </a> </span><span class="str2">Flank, side, extreme parts, recesses</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the tabernacle,</span><br /><span class="heb">הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן</span> <span class="translit">(ham·miš·kān)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4908.htm">Strong's 4908: </a> </span><span class="str2">A residence, the Tabernacle</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the west side,</span><br /><span class="heb">יָ֑מָּה</span> <span class="translit">(yām·māh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular | third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> </span><span class="str2">A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin</span><br /><br /><span class="word">make</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(ta·‘ă·śeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><br /><span class="word">six</span><br /><span class="heb">שִׁשָּׁ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(šiš·šāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8337.htm">Strong's 8337: </a> </span><span class="str2">Six (a cardinal number)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">frames,</span><br /><span class="heb">קְרָשִֽׁים׃</span> <span class="translit">(qə·rā·šîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7175.htm">Strong's 7175: </a> </span><span class="str2">A slab, plank, a deck of a, ship</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/26-22.htm">Exodus 26:22 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/26-22.htm">OT Law: Exodus 26:22 For the far part of the tabernacle (Exo.
