    Brief Summary: The west side of the Temple has 6 boards and 2 corner boards (Ex26-22:23) ....And they shall be 8 boards (Ex26-25)

Verse Ex26-25 discussing the construction of the west side of the Temple states And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. Rashi notes that the underlined words, eight boards references verses Ex26-22:23 discussing the construction of the west side of the Temple. Hence the Rashi comment There were 6 boards each 1.5 cubits in width. So they spanned 6 x 1.5 = 9 cubits. The two corner boards had .5 cubits exposed on each side and 1 cubit corresponding to the north and south walls as show in the diagram The total interior was 10 cubits spanned by 8 boards.
