Five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end of the tabernacle, at the far end. The five crossbars on each of the three sides create fifteen crossbars total for the tabernacle's structural reinforcement. The number five — which appears in the five curtains of each inner-curtain panel — recurs in the five crossbars per wall, suggesting a structural consistency across the tabernacle's different components. The structure that houses the covenant is as carefully designed as the covenant itself.
