Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. The structural frames of the tabernacle are acacia wood — the desert wood that is hard and durable, resistant to rot and insects. The uprights that support the entire tent structure are made of the same material as the ark and the furniture: the structure and its contents share the same wood. The consistency of material across the tabernacle's construction creates a unified object rather than a building that merely houses foreign furniture. The tabernacle and everything in it belong together, made from the same desert wood overlaid with the same precious gold.
