    Brief Summary: The 8 boards (Ex26-25a) references the 6+2 boards (Ex26-22,23)

Verse Ex26-25a discussing the 8 boards constituting the western wall of the tabernarcle 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 clarifies the underlined words eight boards by referencing verses Ex26-22,23 which states And for the sides of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards. And two boards shall you make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. Hence the Rashi comment: The eight boards of the western wall mentioned in Ex26-25a refer to the six boards mentioned in verse Ex26-22 and the two corner boards mentioned in Ex26-23.
