So there will be
This phrase indicates a divine directive, emphasizing the precision and intentionality behind the construction of the Tabernacle. The Hebrew word for "will be" (וְהָיָה, "vehayah") often signifies a future certainty, underscoring God's sovereign plan and the importance of obedience to His instructions. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's meticulous care in establishing a place for His presence among His people.

eight frames
The number eight in biblical numerology often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order. In the context of the Tabernacle, these frames form part of the structure that houses the presence of God, signifying a new covenantal relationship between God and Israel. The Hebrew word for "frames" (קֶרֶשׁ, "qeresh") refers to the wooden boards that form the walls of the Tabernacle, highlighting the strength and stability required to uphold the sacred space.

sixteen silver bases
Silver in the Bible is frequently associated with redemption and atonement. The use of silver bases for the frames suggests a foundation of redemption upon which the Tabernacle stands. The number sixteen, being a multiple of eight, reinforces the theme of new beginnings and divine order. The Hebrew word for "bases" (אֲדָנִים, "adanim") implies a firm foundation, reminding believers of the steadfastness of God's promises and the redemptive work that undergirds our faith.

two under each frame
This phrase highlights the balance and symmetry in the Tabernacle's construction, reflecting God's nature as a God of order and harmony. The duality of the bases under each frame can symbolize the dual aspects of God's covenant—His justice and mercy. The precise arrangement ensures stability and unity, mirroring the spiritual truths of balance and support within the community of faith.

(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.
