boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood
on Exodus 26:15-19
Under the curtains stands a frame of acacia boards, each ten cubits high and set upright. Every board rests in two silver sockets, and Exodus 38:27 says where that silver came from, the hundred talents of atonement money gathered at half a shekel a man and cast at a talent to a socket. The frame of the dwelling place stands on ransom money.
