ewenty boards : two ſockets under one board for his two tenons, and two ſockets under another board for his two tenons.

25 And for the other ſide of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

twinned. together at the head thereof, to one ring : thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

two ſockets, ſockets.

h Whereas the pillars are ſaid to be overlaid with gold, Exod. 26. 37. that hence appears to be a Synecdochical Expreſſion, in regard the rops and knobs ef the Pillars were wholly overlaid with Gold, and the reſt of the Pillars adorned with divers golden Girdles or Hoops ; for that place is inall reaſon to be explained by this, as coming after ir, and containing the execution et that Preſcript, and that more particularly than 1s there expreſſed,
