Corners. Hebrew tenons, literally, "hands," which has the same meaning as the Vulgate. Some think, the sockets or bases rested on the ground, and had a point which entered into the boards, to keep them in their places. (Lyranus) --- The ornaments on the north and south were the same. (Calmet)

They were evidently of the nature of morticed blocks of silver, which formed a continuous foundation for the board structure, and would serve to separate and keep the lower ends of the boards from the ground.

19. sockets] bases (Eze_41:22 RVm.), or pedestals (cf. Job_38:6 ‘foundations’; Son_5:15 supporting pillars), i.e. solid blocks of silver—acc. to Exo_38:27 weighing a talent (96 lbs.) each—resting on the ground, and, naturally, with ‘sockets’ in them to receive the ‘tenons.’ A talent of silver, of the sacred standard, weighed probably DB. iii. 422b, 419b) about 96 lbs. av.: so that, as a cubit ft. of silver weighs 655 lbs., the talent would amount to about 250 cubic inches, i.e. it might form a block about 7 in. square and 5 in. deep: two such blocks were to stand under each of the frames. Kennedy, however, discarding Exo_38:27 as part of a late addition to P (see on Exo_38:24-31), pictures each base as a square plinth, ¾ cubit on the side and a cubit high, the whole forming thus a continuous wall under the frames; the weight of each base in this case would be about 1240 lbs.

Forty sockets of silver. Nothing is said of the shape of these "sockets." They were certainly very massive, as each contained a silver talent, (Exo_38:27) and thus weighed from eighty to ninety pounds. It has been supposed that they stood on the ground, and formed a sort of continuous base, out of which the planks rose. But this would have constituted a very unsafe structure. Kalisch is probably right in his view, that the sockets were let into the ground resembling those at the bottom of a gate, into which the bolt is pressed down. Each socket received one of the "tenons."

silver bases
These were silver blocks that had a slot in them to keep the board in place.
pedestals
The silver bases kept the wooden board off the ground.
There must be two bases
This can be stated in active form. AT: "Put two bases" (See: Active or Passive)
and so on
This means that what was said about the first two boards should be done for the rest of the boards. This can be stated clearly in the translation. AT: "and two bases for each of the rest of the boards" (See: Assumed Knowledge and Implicit Information)

26:19 Apparently each of the bases stood beneath the junction where the frames met. The right peg of one frame and the left peg of the next frame went into one base. Along with the crossbars (26:27-28), this arrangement would contribute to the stability of the whole.
