9 'And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit 'is' the length for the one side, 10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets 'are' of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets 'are' of silver; 11 and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred 'cubits' in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets 'are' of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets 'are' of silver. 12 'And 'for' the breadth of the court at the west side 'are' hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. 13 And 'for' the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, 'are' fifty cubits. 14 And the hangings at the side 'are' fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three. 15 And at the second side 'are' hangings fifteen 'cubits', their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16 'And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four. 17 All the pillars of the court round about 'are' filleted 'with' silver, their pegs 'are' silver, and their sockets brass. 18 'The length of the court 'is' a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets 'are' brass, 19 even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, 'are' brass.

Commentary on Exodus 27:9-19
(Read Exodus 27:9-19)
The tabernacle was enclosed in a court, about sixty yards long and thirty broad, formed by curtains hung upon brazen pillars, fixed in brazen sockets. Within this enclosure the priests and Levites offered the sacrifices, and thither the Jewish people were admitted. These distinctions represented the difference between the visible nominal church, and the true spiritual church, which alone has access to God, and communion with him.
