The Court of the Tabernacle

9 Then he made the court : for the south e side the hangings of the court were of fine twisted linen , one hundred cubits ; 10 their twenty pillars , and their twenty sockets , made of bronze ; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver . 11 For the north side there were one hundred cubits ; their twenty pillars and their twenty sockets were of bronze , the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver . 12 For the west side there were hangings of fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten sockets ; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver . 13 For the east side fifty cubits . 14 The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen e cubits , with their three pillars and their three sockets , 15 and so for the other side . On both e sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen e cubits , with their three pillars and their three sockets . 16 All the hangings of the court all around were of fine twisted linen . 17 The sockets for the pillars were of bronze , the hooks of the pillars and their bands , of silver ; and the overlaying of their tops , of silver , and all the pillars of the court were furnished with silver bands . 18 The screen of the gate of the court was the work of the weaver , of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen . And the length was twenty cubits and the height was five cubits , corresponding to the hangings of the court . 19 Their four pillars and their four sockets were of bronze ; their hooks were of silver , and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver . 20 All the pegs of the tabernacle and of the court all around were of bronze .

(Read Exodus 38:9-20)

The walls of the court being of curtains only, intimated that the state of the Jewish church itself was movable and changeable; and in due time to be taken down and folded up, when the place of the tent should be enlarged, and its cords lengthened, to make room for the Gentile world.
