And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets
on Exodus 40:18-19
The sockets go down first and everything else rests on them. Exodus 38:27 says the hundred sockets of silver were cast from the atonement money, half a shekel a man at a talent to a socket, so the frame of the dwelling place stands on ransom silver. The goats' hair tent and the coverings go over the frame, and the refrain as the Lord commanded Moses begins here and returns after each thing is put in its place.
