- Exodus 36:20–38
Read Exodus 36:22 with 36:20–38. At 36:22, the words “One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle” establish a concrete step in “The Workers Build Frames, Veil, and Screen”. The whole unit shows: Frames, bases, bars, veil, pillars, and entrance screen are made to produce stable structure and ordered access.
Why It Needs Context
At 36:22, the words “One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle” establish a concrete step in “The Workers Build Frames, Veil, and Screen”. Its force depends on 36:20–38; detached from “The Workers Build Frames, Veil, and Screen,” the words “One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle” could be mistaken for a complete command, promise, judgment, explanation, or doctrine.
