Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd for the second side of the tabernacle the north side,.... The direction of the tabernacle was east and west; at the east end was the entrance into the holy place, and at the west end the holy of holies; and the two sides were north and south; and as on the south side, so on the north there shall be twenty boards: just the same number as the laws of building required.
This site's exposition
For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side
on Exodus 26:20-25
Twenty frames stand south, twenty north, and eight west, and the curtain of verses 36 and 37 closes the open east end. Forty, forty and sixteen bases make ninety-six, and the four under the veil's posts bring the count to the hundred of Exodus 38:27.
