BOARD

bord (qeresh, "a slab or plank," "deck of a ship," "bench," "board"): This word is found in Exodus 26:16-21; Exodus 36:21; its plural occurs in Exodus 26:15, 17-29; Exodus 35:11; Exodus 36:20-34; 39:33:00; 40:18 Numbers 3:36; Numbers 4:31. This word also is used in translation of luach (Exodus 27:8; Exodus 38:7 Songs 8:9 Ezekiel 27:5 the King James Version) = "a tablet" (of stone, wood or metal), "board," "plate," "table"; also of tsla` = "rib," hence, a "side," "timber," "plank" (1 Kings 6:15 f). In 1 Kings 6:9, sedherah = "a rank," "a row," hence, "a range" or "board" is used. In the New Testament we find the expression "on board" in Acts 27:44 the King James Version, in translation of epi sanisin = "planks."
