• Another version renders it, “And they were twain below; but they were whole together toward its head in the one ring” (Num. Bible). The evident thought is that what might naturally be two, and thus divided, is “fitly joined together” (Eph. 4: 16). A distinction is made between the bottom and top of these corner boards. They were twain below; or, even if “twinned” be the better reading, the thought of distinction from the adjacent boards is suggested. This is at the base, near the silver sockets. May not this emphasize the individuality of each believer? No matter what position he may have in the house of God—even though it be of the greatest importance, and in closest conjunction with others—he rests for himself upon the work of Christ. (“The Sockets and the Boards” by S. Ridout)
• But while at the base the boards are thus distinct, at the head or top they are firmly joined to the others—on each side — “in one ring.” This is a divine bond at just the point where it is needed. The sockets would hold them together at the base-no danger of a true believer being moved away from the work of Christ; but there is a danger of his drawing away from his true place with the people of God, “at the head.” He may become puffed up, “heady,” and so instead of a flawless union, there may be a yawning crevice at a crucial point. Here is where divine love encircles the saints and holds them fast in its eternal embrace; and where this is entered into fully, the “corners” and places of natural weakness, become special points of strength. (“The Sockets and the Boards” by S. Ridout)
