20 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up;
21 ten cubits `is' the length of the `one' board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the `one' board;
22 two handles `are' to the one board, joined one unto another; so he hath made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward;
24 and forty sockets of silver he hath made under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.
25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he hath made twenty boards,
26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board;
27 and for the sides of the tabernacle, westward, hath he made six boards;
28 and two boards hath he made for the corners of the tabernacle, in the two sides;
29 and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at the one ring; so he hath done to both of them at the two corners;
30 and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver `are' sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board.
31 And he maketh bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the sides westward;
33 and he maketh the middle bar to enter into the midst of the boards from end to end;

Commentary on Exodus 36 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 36
In this chapter,
Exd 36:1-7
Exd 36:8-13
The first work they set about was the framing of the house, which must be done before the furniture of it was prepared. This house was not made of timber or stone, but of curtains curiously embroidered and coupled together. This served to typify the state of the church in this world, the palace of God's kingdom among men.
Exd 36:14-34
Here,
Exd 36:35-38
In the building of a house there is a great deal of work about the doors and partitions. In the tabernacle these were answerable to the rest of the fabric; there were curtains for doors, and veils for partitions.
