Exodus 36:20-34 Frames, frames and more frames!

20Next, he constructed upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.22Two tenons were connected to each other for each frame. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
23He constructed twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle, 24with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.
25For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames 26and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.
27He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side, 28and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle, 29coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. He made both corners in this way. 30So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
31He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 32five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
33He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other. 34And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

What did the wilderness tabernacle look like?
I found this model, it’s not made of the same materials but they claim the size is correct. https://www.bibleplaces.com/tabernaclemore/

The Lord designed it, they built it and it was mobile!
Was this the first mobile home? ðŸ˜‡

Joking aside, it appears these frames were the inner walls that supported the structure and coverings.

Blessings, David
