So there were eight frames
The phrase "eight frames" refers to the structural components of the Tabernacle, which was the portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "frames" is "קֶרֶשׁ" (qeresh), which denotes a plank or board. These frames were integral to the construction of the Tabernacle, symbolizing stability and order. The number eight in biblical numerology often signifies new beginnings or a new order, reflecting the new covenant relationship between God and His people as they journeyed through the wilderness.

and sixteen silver bases
The "sixteen silver bases" served as the foundation for the frames. Silver in the Bible often symbolizes redemption and atonement. The Hebrew word for "silver" is "כֶּסֶף" (kesef), which is also used to denote money or wealth. The use of silver bases underscores the idea that the Tabernacle, and by extension the presence of God, is founded upon the redemption of His people. The number sixteen, being a multiple of eight, reinforces the theme of new beginnings and divine order.

two under each frame
This phrase indicates the precise and intentional design of the Tabernacle. Each frame was supported by two bases, ensuring stability and balance. The number two in biblical symbolism often represents witness and testimony. Thus, the two bases under each frame can be seen as a testament to the steadfastness and reliability of God's promises. The meticulous attention to detail in the construction of the Tabernacle reflects the holiness and perfection of God, who dwells among His people.
