Exodus 26:22 וּֽלְיַרְכְּתֵ֥י and for [the] innermost parts of

Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

Exodus 26:23 בַּיַּרְכָתָֽיִם׃ in the innermost parts

and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

Here: Literally "in the two flanks/thighs" (the form is a dual, the Hebrew form for pairs). In use it means the hindmost or farthest part of something. Verse 22 has just named the same area as the back, west-facing end. So these are the back corners, next to the Most Holy Place, not the long sides.

Exodus 26:27 לַיַּרְכָתַ֖יִם for the innermost parts

five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

Here: 'For the rear', literally 'the two far parts' (a dual form). It is the standard Hebrew way of saying the back or innermost end of something, as in the 'recesses' of a house or the 'far reaches' of the earth. It does not mean two separate sides. This back end is where the Most Holy Place stood.

Now in those days, when there was no king in Israel, a Levite who lived in the remote hill country of Ephraim took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

Here: Literally 'in the flanks/rear parts': the far, back edges of the region. He lives on the margins, away from any center.

Judges 19:18 יַרְכְּתֵ֣י [the] remotest parts of

The Levite replied, “We are traveling from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote hill country of Ephraim, where I am from. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and now I am going to the house of the LORD; but no one has taken me into his home,

Here: 'The far reaches / back parts' of the hill country. It is the same phrase used of his home in 19:1, which tells us he lives far out in the remote edges of Ephraim.

1 Samuel 24:3 בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֥י in [the] innermost parts of

Psalm 128:3 בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֪י in [the] innermost parts of

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

Here: "In the recesses of": the deepest, most inward part of a space. The same word is used for the inner part of a cave (1 Sam 24:3), the hold below deck on a ship (Jonah 1:5), and the farthest north (Isa 14:13). It places her in the protected heart of the household, not on its outer walls.

Isaiah 14:13 בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֥י in [the] remotest parts of

You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.

Here: "In the innermost / most remote parts of". The word is used of the back of a cave or a ship's hold. Here it means the summit-recesses of the sacred mountain.

This is what the LORD says: “Behold, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is stirred up from the ends of the earth.

Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!

Here: "From the far recesses of." The word is a body term (the thigh or back side) used for the farthest, hidden end of something. Jeremiah 6:22 used the same phrase for where the enemy army came from.
