and two frames
The construction of the tabernacle involved precise instructions given by God to Moses. The frames, or boards, were integral to the structure, providing stability and form. The use of two frames here emphasizes the importance of symmetry and balance in the design, reflecting the orderliness of God's creation. The number two often symbolizes witness or testimony in the Bible, suggesting the tabernacle's role in bearing witness to God's presence among His people.

for the two back corners
The back corners of the tabernacle were crucial for structural integrity, ensuring the tent's stability. In ancient Near Eastern architecture, corners were often seen as points of strength. The tabernacle's design, including its corners, was a reflection of heavenly realities, as described in Hebrews 8:5, where the earthly tabernacle is a shadow of the heavenly one. The corners may also symbolize the completeness and perfection of God's dwelling place.

of the tabernacle
The tabernacle was the portable dwelling place for the presence of God among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. It served as a central place of worship and sacrifice, foreshadowing the coming of Jesus Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14). The tabernacle's construction, with its detailed instructions, highlights the holiness and separateness of God, as well as His desire to dwell with His people.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Bezalel and Oholiab
Skilled craftsmen appointed by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle. They were filled with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship.

2. The Tabernacle

3. The Israelites
The people of God who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and were journeying to the Promised Land. They contributed materials and labor for the construction of the Tabernacle.

4. The Wilderness

5. The Corner Frames
Specific structural elements of the Tabernacle, indicating the precision and care in its construction, symbolizing stability and strength.
Teaching Points
Divine Order and Precision
The construction of the Tabernacle, including the corner frames, reflects God's desire for order and precision in worship. This teaches us the importance of approaching God with reverence and care in our spiritual practices.

God's Provision of Skills and Resources
Just as God provided Bezalel and Oholiab with the skills needed for the Tabernacle, He equips us with spiritual gifts and talents to serve His purposes today.

The Importance of Community in Worship
The Israelites' collective effort in building the Tabernacle highlights the importance of community in worship and service. We are called to work together as the body of Christ.

Symbolism of Stability and Strength
The corner frames symbolize stability and strength, reminding us that our faith should be firmly grounded in Christ, who is our cornerstone.
