Commentary

Commentary

Two tenons shall there be on one board,.... Every board was to be so cut and shaped at t he lower end of it, as to have, as it were, "two hands" (r), as in the original, to enter into, lay hold on, and fasten in mortises: set in order one against another; at a proper distance from each other, as the rounds of a ladder: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle; everyone was to have two tenons. (r) "duae manus", Montanus.
