Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 22, 23. - For the sides of the tabernacle westward. Rather, "for the back" (τὰ ὀπίσω - LXX.). Here there were to be six boards only, which would give the abnormal and improbable width of nine cubits. The additional cubit required was no doubt obtained from the corner boards, or posts, each of which added to the (internal) width half a cubit (see ver. 23).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) For the sides of the tabernacle westward.--Rather, for the back of the tabernacle (LXX., ??? ?????). (See Note on Exodus 26:18.) The west is always regarded as "behind" by the Orientals.Six boards.--Six boards, presumably of the same width with the others (Exodus 26:16), would extend a length of nine cubits only, or thirteen and a half feet. The tenth cubit seems to have been made up by the corner boards, or posts, which are counted with the "six" boards as forming the back of the tabernacle in Exodus 26:25.
