In the context of the Bible, "sockets" refer primarily to the bases or foundations used in the construction of the Tabernacle, the portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. These sockets were integral to the structure and stability of the Tabernacle, serving as the foundational elements upon which the framework of the sanctuary was erected.

Biblical References:

The primary references to sockets in the Bible are found in the book of Exodus, where detailed instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle are provided. The sockets are mentioned in relation to the boards, pillars, and other structural components of the Tabernacle.

1.Exodus 26:19 · "with forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon."

2.Exodus 26:21 · "and their forty silver bases—two bases under each frame."

3.Exodus 26:25 · "So there are eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame."

4.Exodus 27:10 · "with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts."

5.Exodus 38:27 · "The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and the bases for the curtain—one hundred bases from the hundred talents, one talent per base."

Construction and Material:

The sockets were primarily made of silver and bronze, as specified in the instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The use of precious metals underscores the sacredness and the divine specifications of the Tabernacle. The silver sockets were used for the boards of the Tabernacle, while the bronze sockets were used for the courtyard pillars.

·Silver Sockets: These were used for the boards of the Tabernacle itself. Each board had two tenons, and each tenon fit into a silver socket, providing stability and support for the structure. The silver used for these sockets was collected from the atonement money given by the Israelites, symbolizing their redemption and covenant relationship with God.

·Bronze Sockets: These were used for the pillars of the courtyard. The bronze sockets provided a sturdy base for the pillars that supported the linen curtains surrounding the Tabernacle, marking the boundary of the sacred space.

Symbolism and Significance:

The sockets, as foundational elements, symbolize the stability and permanence of God's dwelling among His people. They represent the firm foundation of faith and the steadfastness required in the believer's life. The use of silver, often associated with redemption, highlights the redemptive work of God in establishing His covenant with Israel. The bronze, known for its strength and durability, signifies judgment and endurance.

The meticulous detail given to the construction of the Tabernacle, including the sockets, reflects the holiness and orderliness of God. It serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to divine instructions and the reverence due to God's dwelling place.

In summary, the sockets of the Tabernacle are more than mere construction elements; they are rich in theological significance, pointing to the foundational truths of faith, redemption, and the enduring presence of God among His people.
