He made
This phrase emphasizes the active role of Bezalel and the skilled craftsmen in the construction of the Tabernacle. The Hebrew root "עשׂה" (asah) means to make or do, highlighting the divine inspiration and human effort in fulfilling God's instructions. This collaboration between divine command and human action is a recurring theme in the construction of the Tabernacle, symbolizing the partnership between God and His people.

forty silver bases
The use of silver, a precious metal, signifies redemption and atonement in biblical symbolism. Silver was often used in the context of redemption, as seen in the silver shekel used for the atonement money (Exodus 30:11-16). The number forty is significant in Scripture, often representing a period of testing or trial, such as the forty years in the wilderness. Here, the forty bases provide a firm foundation for the Tabernacle, symbolizing the stability and redemption found in God's presence.

to go under the twenty frames
The frames, or boards, form the structure of the Tabernacle, and their number, twenty, is significant. In biblical numerology, twenty can symbolize a complete or perfect waiting period. The frames represent the unity and strength of the community of Israel, held together by the silver bases, which signify redemption. This construction reflects the idea that the community of believers is built upon the foundation of redemption and divine order.

two bases for each frame
The duality of the bases for each frame suggests balance and stability. In the Hebrew context, the number two often represents witness and testimony. The two bases for each frame could symbolize the dual witness of God's covenant and the people's response. This dual foundation ensures that the Tabernacle stands firm, just as the faith of believers is strengthened by the testimony of God's promises and their faithfulness.

one under each tenon
The tenon, a projection on the end of a piece of wood that fits into a mortise to form a joint, signifies connection and unity. The Hebrew word "יד" (yad), meaning hand, is sometimes used for tenon, symbolizing the hand of God in the construction. The placement of a base under each tenon underscores the importance of a strong foundation for every connection within the Tabernacle. This imagery can inspire believers to ensure that every aspect of their spiritual lives is grounded in the redemption and stability provided by God.
