24with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.
25For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames

Cross References


The Key Word אֲדָנִ֜ים, 'a.da.Nimgenerated

The word אֲדָנִים ('a.da.Nim) is the plural form of אֶדֶן ('eden), meaning 'bases' or 'pedestals.' It signifies a strong foundation or support, essential for the stability of structures like the tabernacle. The parsing indicates it is a masculine plural noun, showing that multiple bases are being referred to.

This term is often associated with strength and support, as seen in its use in various contexts, including the bases for the tabernacle's pillars. The use of silver for these bases adds a layer of value and significance to the structure, indicating not only physical support but also the preciousness of the tabernacle itself.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames.' The KJV and ASV agree with this wording, maintaining the same structure and meaning.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is עָשָׂ֕ה, he made, which governs the construction details that follow. The sentence structure includes a series of noun phrases that specify the components being made, including the number of bases and frames.

The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the bases, indicating their importance in the overall structure. The phrase 'forty silver bases' serves as a key detail that supports the main action of making.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint does not provide a direct Greek equivalent for אֲדָנִ֜ים, but the absence of a specific term highlights the focus on the material and structural aspects of the tabernacle's construction.

The translators likely chose to emphasize the physicality of the bases, which are crucial for the stability of the tabernacle, aligning with the Hebrew intent.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches the Hebrew text closely. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly, using the term 'יתדתיו' (peg) instead of bases, indicating a different interpretation of the support structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls show some restoration but align with the overall message of the verse.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

sil'-ver (keceph; argurion, arguros): Silver was known in the earliest historic times. Specimens of early Egyptian and Babylonian silver work testify to the skill of the ancient silversmiths. In Palestine, silver objects have been found antedating the occupation of the land by the Hebrews. This metal was used for making all kinds of ornamental objects. In the mound of Gezer were found bowls, vases, ladles, hairpins, rings and bracelets of silver. The rings and settings for scarabs or seals were commonly of this metal. The first mention of silver in the Bible is in Ge 13:2, where it says that Abraham was rich in cattle, in silver and gold. At that time it was commonly used in exchange in the form of bars or other shapes. Coins of that metal were of a much later date (Ge 20:16

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Silver

Used for a great variety of purposes, as may be judged from the frequent references to it in Scripture. It first appears in commerce in Gen. 13:2; 23:15, 16. It was largely employed for making vessels for the sanctuary in the wilderness (Ex. 26:19; 27:17; Num. 7:13, 19; 10:2). There is no record of its having been found in Syria or Palestine. It was brought in large quantities by foreign merchants from abroad, from Spain and India and other countries probably.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

In very early times silver was used for ornaments, (Genesis 24:53) and for vessels of various kinds. Images for idolatrous worship were made of silver or overlaid with it, (Exodus 20:23; Hosea 13:2); Habb 2:19 Bar. 6:39, and the manufacture of silver shrines for Diana was a trade in Ephesus. (Acts 19:24) But its chief use was as a medium of exchange, and throughout the Old Testament we find "silver" used for money, like the French argent . Silver was brought to Solomon from Arabia, (2 Chronicles 9:14) and from Tarshish, (2 Chronicles 9:21) which supplied the markets…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

One of the precious metals and the one most commonly used as coin among all nations. It is first mentioned in Scripture in the history of Abraham, Ge 13:2 20:16 23:16, and was used in constricting the tabernacle, Ex 26:19,32, and afterwards the temple, 1Ch 29:4. In employing it as a medium of trade, the ancient Hebrews weighed it out, instead of having coins. In the times of the New Testament there were coins. See SHEKEL, and MONEY.
