bord (qeresh, "a slab or plank," "deck of a ship," "bench," "board"): This word is found in Exod 26:16-21; Exod 36:21 ff; its plural occurs in Exod 26:15; Exod 26:17-29; Exod 35:11; Exod 36:20-34; Exod 39:33; Exod 40:18; Num 3:36; Num 4:31. This word also is used in translation of luach (Exod 27:8; Exod 38:7; Song 8:9; Ezek 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 Kgs 6:15). In 1 Kgs 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."
