Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. The standardized dimensions of the frames — 10 cubits tall, 1.5 cubits wide — allow them to be assembled in uniform rows along the tabernacle's walls. The ten-cubit height creates the interior space in which the lampstand, the table, and the veil will be positioned. The cubit-and-a-half width of each frame is the same as the ark's width — a subtle visual echo of the covenant object inside and the structural frame outside sharing a dimension. The tabernacle's structure is designed at a scale that makes the inner furniture proportional to the space.
