Exodus 26:19 Summary
[This verse talks about the construction of the tabernacle, specifically the silver bases that were placed under the frames to provide a strong foundation. Just like these silver bases, Jesus Christ is our foundation and our rock, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3:11. We can trust in Him to provide stability and strength in our lives. As we build our lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ, we can be confident that we will not be shaken, just like the tabernacle was not shaken because of its strong foundation.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the silver bases under the frames in Exodus 26:19?
The silver bases represent the foundation and stability of the tabernacle, much like the spiritual foundation we have in Jesus Christ, as described in 1 Corinthians 3:11, where it says that 'no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ'.
Why are there forty silver bases and twenty frames in Exodus 26:19?
The forty silver bases and twenty frames are part of the intricate design of the tabernacle, with two bases under each frame, providing a sturdy foundation, similar to how God's Word provides a solid foundation for our faith, as seen in Matthew 7:24-25, where Jesus teaches about building on the rock of His teachings.
How does the detail of the tenons and silver bases in Exodus 26:19 relate to our spiritual lives?
The attention to detail in the construction of the tabernacle, including the tenons and silver bases, reminds us of the importance of being diligent and faithful in our own spiritual walks, just as the apostle Paul exhorts in Colossians 3:23-24, to do everything with diligence and sincerity, knowing that we serve the Lord.
What can we learn from the repetition of the instruction to use silver bases under the frames in Exodus 26:19 and Exodus 26:21?
The repetition emphasizes the importance of consistency and uniformity in the design of the tabernacle, reflecting the order and harmony that God desires for His people, as expressed in 1 Corinthians 14:33, where it says that 'God is not a God of disorder but of peace'.
Reflection Questions
- As I reflect on the silver bases under the frames, what foundations am I building my life upon, and are they secure in Jesus Christ?
- How can I apply the principle of diligence and attention to detail, as seen in the construction of the tabernacle, to my own spiritual growth and service to God?
- What are some 'tenons' in my life that need to be connected to the 'frames' of God's Word and His presence, in order to provide stability and support?
- In what ways can I demonstrate a commitment to consistency and uniformity in my own walk with God, reflecting the harmony and order that He desires for His people?
Gill's Exposition on Exodus 26:19
And thou shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards,.... Or bases (s), and which were properly the foundation of the tabernacle, on which it was settled and established; these sockets
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 26:19
And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up. Boards ... of shittim wood standing up.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 26:19
Forty sockets, or bases, or pedestals, or feet, upon which the boards stood, and to which they were fastened.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 26:19
(19) Forty sockets.—Each “socket” was to receive one of the “tenons.” As there were twenty boards (Exodus 26:18), and two tenons to each board (Exodus 26:17), the sockets had to be forty.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 26:19
19. sockets] bases (Ezekiel 41:22 RVm.), or pedestals (cf. Job 38:6 ‘foundations’; Son 5:15 supporting pillars), i.e. solid blocks of silver—acc. to Exodus 38:27 weighing a talent (96 lbs.) each—resting on the ground, and, naturally, with ‘sockets’ in them to receive the ‘tenons.’ A talent of silver, of the sacred standard, weighed probably DB. iii. 422b, 419b) about 96 lbs. av.: so that, as a cubit ft. of silver weighs 655 lbs., the talent would amount to about 250 cubic inches, i.e. it might form a block about 7 in. square and 5 in. deep: two such blocks were to stand under each of the frames. Kennedy, however, discarding Exodus 38:27 as part of a late addition to P (see on Exodus 38:24-31), pictures each base as a square plinth, ¾ cubit on the side and a cubit high, the whole forming thus a continuous wall under the frames; the weight of each base in this case would be about 1240 lbs.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 26:19
19. Forty sockets — Or bases; since two of these were to be placed under each board to receive the two tenons. Comp. Exodus 26:17.
