For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames. The north wall mirrors the south — twenty frames exactly. The bilateral symmetry of the tabernacle's long walls is the symmetry of the covenant's balanced obligations. The God who requires the same of the north and the south of Israel's camp built His dwelling with identical walls on both sides. The equity of the covenant is built into the architecture of the sanctuary.
