So there are to be eight frames
The eight frames refer to the structural components of the Tabernacle, which was the portable dwelling place for the presence of God among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. The number eight in biblical numerology often signifies new beginnings or a new order, which can be seen as symbolic of the new covenant God was establishing with His people. The frames were made of acacia wood, a durable and resistant material, symbolizing the enduring nature of God's covenant.

and sixteen silver bases
The silver bases provided stability and support for the frames. Silver in the Bible often represents redemption and atonement. In Exodus 30:11-16, silver was collected as atonement money, linking the material to the concept of redemption. The use of silver bases can be seen as a foundation of redemption upon which the Tabernacle, and thus the presence of God, rests. The number sixteen, being a multiple of eight, reinforces the idea of a new beginning and completeness in God's plan.

two under each frame
Each frame was supported by two silver bases, ensuring stability and balance. This duality can symbolize the balance between justice and mercy, law and grace, which are foundational to God's relationship with His people. The precise and orderly construction of the Tabernacle reflects God's nature as a God of order and detail. This meticulous design points forward to the New Testament, where Jesus Christ is described as the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20), providing the ultimate foundation for the spiritual house of God.

Teaching Points
God's Attention to Detail
The specific instructions for the Tabernacle remind us that God cares about the details of our lives and our worship.

Obedience to God's Instructions
Just as the Israelites were called to follow God's precise instructions, we are called to obey His Word in our lives.

The Presence of God
The Tabernacle symbolizes God's desire to dwell among His people, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers.

Community and Cooperation
The construction of the Tabernacle required the cooperation of the entire community, illustrating the importance of working together in the body of Christ.

Foreshadowing of Christ
The Tabernacle serves as a foreshadowing of Christ's redemptive work and the ultimate dwelling of God with His people.(25) Sixteen sockets.--Two for each corner board, and twelve for the six boards between them.

Verse 25. - And they shall be eight boards. Counting in the two comer boards, or posts, the boards of the back would be eight. Each of them was to have two "tenons," like the boards of the sides, and every "tenon" was to have its own silver "socket." Thus the "sockets" would be sixteen, two under each board.
