Footnotes

37 More recent studies have concluded that these “boards” were made of two long uprights joined by cross-bars (like a ladder). They were frames rather than boards, meaning that the structure under the tent was not a solid building. It also meant that the “boards” would have been lighter to carry.
38 Heb “you shall assign by names the vessels of the responsibility of their burden.”
