The Back of the Tabernacle

Commentators clarify that the 'hinder part...westward' refers to the back wall of the Tabernacle. This wall was constructed with these six main boards, plus two additional corner boards (mentioned in the next verse), creating a solid rear structure for God's dwelling place. This detail helps us visualize the precise and sturdy construction of the sacred space.
