with forty silver bases
The use of silver in the construction of the tabernacle is significant, as silver often symbolizes redemption in the Bible. The forty bases suggest a foundation of redemption, aligning with the broader theme of God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt. The number forty is frequently associated with periods of testing and preparation in Scripture, such as the forty years in the wilderness.

to put under the twenty frames
The frames, or boards, form the structure of the tabernacle, representing the dwelling place of God among His people. The number twenty, being a multiple of ten, can symbolize completeness or divine order. The frames provide stability and support, much like the spiritual foundation believers are called to build their lives upon.

two bases for each frame
The dual bases for each frame emphasize stability and balance. This can be seen as a reflection of the dual nature of Christ as both fully God and fully man, providing a firm foundation for faith. The pairing also suggests the importance of community and partnership in the faith journey.

one under each tenon
The tenons are the connecting points, ensuring the frames are securely joined. This detail highlights the importance of unity and connection within the body of Christ. Just as the tabernacle's structure relies on these connections, so too does the church rely on the unity of its members, as seen in passages like Ephesians 4:16.
