And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:
Exodus 26 belongs to God's detailed instructions to Moses for building the tabernacle, giving exact specifications for every part of the work. Within those instructions this verse assigns twenty boards to the north side to form one of the tabernacle's side walls. Those boards stood upright to form the wall.
The boards were plated with gold, heavily plated with purest gold. The upright boards were set in silver sockets. The tabernacle thus formed was a portable yet extraordinarily magnificent structure, designed to be taken apart and carried from place to place as Israel journeyed through the wilderness.
Light from the continually burning lampstand reflected from the gold boards and the curtains, making the sacred apartments radiant and beautiful. The skill, genius, and wisdom used in this work were gifts from God to be employed for His glory.
