One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Each board had two connecting pieces that were evenly spaced apart from each other. He made all the boards for the tabernacle this same way.
This verse describes how the craftsmen made uniform, precisely fitted boards for God's tabernacle, with each board having two evenly-spaced connectors.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were in the wilderness after their escape from slavery in Egypt, and God was providing detailed instructions through Moses for constructing the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary for worship. The boards with tenons mentioned in this verse were part of the framework that formed the walls of the Tabernacle, ensuring structural stability and reflecting the precision required for this holy space. This careful design highlighted God's desire for order and excellence in the people's devotion as they journeyed toward the Promised Land.
