Exodus 38:9-21

And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:

The court. It occupied a space of 150 feet by 75, and it was enclosed by curtains of fine linen, about 8 feet high, suspended on brasen or copper pillars. Those curtains were secured by rods fastened to the top, and kept extended by being fastened to pins stuck in the ground.

Verse 10. Hooks. The hooks of the pillars in the court were for hanging up the carcasses of the sacrificial beasts-those on the pillars at the entry of the tabernacle were for hanging the sacerdotal robes and other things used in the service.

Verse 11. Sockets - mortices or holes, in which the end of the pillar stood.

Verse 17. Chapiters - or capitals of the pillars, were wooden posts, which ran along the top, to which were attached the hooks for the hangings.

Verse 18. The height in the breadth - or in the measure. The sense is, that the hangings of the court gate, which was twenty cubits wide, were of the same height as the hangings all round the court.

Verse 21. This is the sum. Having completed his description of the component parts of the tabernacle the inspired historian digresses into a statement respecting the gold and silver employed in it, the computation being made according to an order of Moses-by the Levites, under the direction of Ithamar, Aaron's youngest son.
