'Twenty' in the Bible
So you are to make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side,
and you are to make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames -- two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections;
and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty frames,
with twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.
Likewise for its length on the north side, there are to be hangings for one hundred fifty feet, with twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
Everyone who crosses over to those who are numbered is to pay this: a half shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel weighs twenty gerahs). The half shekel is to be an offering to the Lord.
Everyone who crosses over to those numbered, from twenty years old and up, is to pay an offering to the Lord.
So he made frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side.

and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames
with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.
For the north side the hangings were one hundred fifty feet, with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.
