Ibn Ezra on Exodus 26:15/אבן עזרא על שמות כ״ו:ט״ו
אועשית. המשכן אינו רק היריעות והקרשים, וכאשר הודיע המשכן כן הקרשים:
1AND THOU SHALT MAKE THE BOARDS FOR THE TABERNACLE. The term tabernacle only applies to the curtains60 and the boards.61 (Ex. 25:9), the boards were included. As God informed Moses of the tabernacle,62 so did He inform him of the boards.63 (the boards), that is, the boards previously alluded to in the word mishkan.
בומלת עומדים. כפי תולדות העץ, כי האורך הוא הגובה, וככה האדם כאשר הוא עומד, והפך זה בשכבו, או מלת עומדים על זויות נצבות:
2[STANDING UP.] The word omedim means standing up as it grew on the tree,64 for the length of the wood65 is its height.66. The same applies to a person when he stands. The opposite is the case when he lies down.67 (standing) means that the long side of the board is to be placed in a vertical position. On the other hand, the word omedim might mean standing straight up.68
