A cubit is generally considered to be about 18 inches, making each frame approximately 15 feet long. This length signifies the grandeur and majesty of the Tabernacle, which was to be a dwelling place for God's presence among His people. The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order in the Bible, as seen in the Ten Commandments (<a href="/exodus/20.htm">Exodus 20:1-17</a>).<p><b>and a cubit and a half wide</b><br>The width of a cubit and a half, approximately 27 inches, indicates the specific and deliberate design of the Tabernacle's structure. This dimension ensured stability and uniformity in the construction. The use of half measures can symbolize the idea of something being part of a greater whole, pointing to the Tabernacle as a part of God's larger plan for His people.
