Five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end of the tabernacle. Five crossbars for each of the three walls create a consistent horizontal reinforcement system. The entrance end (east) has no wall and no crossbars — it is open for approach. The three closed sides are fully reinforced; the one open side invites entry. The architecture of the tabernacle communicates both the protection of the holy and the accessibility of its entrance.
