Term used by modern translations to render a number of Hebrew terms. Frame refers to the “carrying frame” (NRSV) for the lamps and Tabernacle utensils (Numbers 4:10 ,Numbers 4:10,4:12; KJV, NAS “bars”; REB “poles”); to the rim that served as a brace for the legs of the table of the presence (Exodus 25:25 ,Exodus 25:25,25:27; KJV “border”); to the frames for the side panels of the stands used to transport the Temple lavers (1 Kings 7:28-36; 2 Kings 16:17; KJV “ledge”); to the skeletal structure over which the tabernacle curtains were spread (Exodus 26:15-29; Exodus 35:11; KJV, NAS “boards”); and to the casing of windows and doors (1 Kings 7:4-5 ). Frame is also used in reference to the human form (Job 41:12; Psalm 103:14; Psalm 139:15 ). Frame can be interpreted either as “how we are formed” (NIV) or “what we are made of” (TEV). Frame is also used as a verb. The tongue's “framing words”

is a picturesque expression for speech (Psalm 50:19 ). Most often frame means to plan or devise (Psalm 94:20 ) or to act on plans (Jeremiah 18:11 ).
