## In Jewish tradition

Here boards are the upright wooden frames of acacia wood that made the walls of the tabernacle.

**Interpretation.** Tradition says the boards stood upright and were fitted into silver sockets, so the tabernacle could be taken apart and carried. Some say the acacia wood came from trees Jacob planted in Egypt.
