24with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

26and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame. 27He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,Exodus 36:25 Summary
Exodus 36:25 tells us that twenty frames were made for the north side of the tabernacle, just like the south side, showing us that God values balance and symmetry in His design. This reminds us that God is a God of order and precision, as seen in the creation story in Genesis 1:1, and that He cares about every detail of our lives. Just as the frames provided support and stability to the tabernacle, God provides us with spiritual support and stability through His presence and His Word, as described in Psalm 23:4 and Matthew 28:20. By trusting in God's careful plan and design, we can find balance and stability in our own lives, just as the tabernacle stood firm with its carefully constructed frames.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the north side of the tabernacle in Exodus 36:25?
The north side of the tabernacle represents the second side of the structure, which is equally important as the south side, as both have twenty frames, indicating balance and symmetry in God's design, much like the balance we see in the creation story in Genesis 1:1 and the importance of order in 1 Corinthians 14:40.
Why did the tabernacle need so many frames, including the twenty made for the north side?
The numerous frames, including the twenty for the north side, provided structural support and stability to the tabernacle, allowing it to stand firm, much like the spiritual support and stability we receive from God as described in Psalm 46:1 and the importance of a strong spiritual foundation in Matthew 7:24-25.
How does the detail about the frames in Exodus 36:25 relate to the overall message of the Bible?
The attention to detail in Exodus 36:25, such as the twenty frames for the north side, highlights God's care and precision in His creation and redemption plan, as seen in the intricate details of the tabernacle and the precise instructions given to Moses, reflecting the care and precision of God's plan for humanity as described in Jeremiah 29:11 and Ephesians 2:10.
What can we learn from the repetition of twenty frames for both the south and north sides of the tabernacle?
The repetition of twenty frames for both sides teaches us about the importance of balance, symmetry, and consistency in our spiritual lives, just as God's design for the tabernacle reflects His character, as seen in the repetition of certain themes and patterns throughout the Bible, such as the importance of faithfulness in Deuteronomy 7:9 and the call to consistency in our walk with God in 1 Thessalonians 4:1.

And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

(20-34) After the construction of the roof, that of the walls is described, the order of Exodus 26 being still followed. Exodus 36:20-34 correspond to Exodus 36:15-29 of Exodus 26. The correspondence is closer than would appear from the Authorised Version.
