The oil for the lamp You are also to construct the courtyard for the tabernacle You are also to construct This phrase indicates a divine command given to Moses, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's instructions. The Hebrew root for "construct" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which means to make or do. This verb is often used in the context of creating or fashioning something according to a specific plan or purpose. The construction of the courtyard is not merely a human endeavor but a sacred task ordained by God. It reflects the broader biblical theme of God as the ultimate architect, who designs and orders the universe and His dwelling place among His people. the courtyard for the tabernacle (9-18) Almost every ancient temple stood within a sacred enclosure, which isolated it from the common working world, and rendered its religious character more distinctly apparent. Such enclosures were particularly affected by the Egyptians, and were usually oblong squares, surrounded by walls, with, for the most part, a single entrance. An open space of this kind, always desirable, was absolutely necessary where the sanctuary itself was covered in, since it would have been intolerable to kill and burn victims in a confined and covered space. The altar which has been described (Exodus 27:1-8) was necessarily placed outside the tabernacle, and formed the chief furniture of the court, for which directions are now given. (9) For the south side southward.--Rather, for the south side upon the right. (See Note on Exodus 26:18.) Hangings.--The word used is new and rare. It is rendered ?????, "sails," by the LXX., and seems to designate a coarse sail-cloth, woven with interstices, through which what went on inside the court might be seen. The court, it must be remembered, was open to all Israelites (Leviticus 1:3, &c.). Of fine twined linen.--Made of linen thread, i.e., each thread having several strands; not "fine linen" in the modern sense. Verses 9-18. - THE COURT BEFORE THE TABERNACLE. The description of the altar is (as already observed) naturally followed by that of the court which was to contain it, and in which it was to be the most conspicuous object. This is given with great clearness in ten verses, and presents scarcely any problem for solution. The court was an oblong square, three hundred feet in length and seventy-five in breadth. It was enclosed by curtains, hung on sixty pillars, placed at intervals of seven feet and a half apart. The pillars were connected by rods, and each of them fitted into a socket. There was but one entrance, which was at the eastern side, midway in it. It was thirty feet wide, and had its own curtains and its own pillars. These curtains were of similar material with those at the entrance to the tabernacle, but the hangings round the rest of the court were merely of fine white linen. Verse 9. - Thou shalt make the court. Rather, "a court." For the south side southward. Rather," For the south side, upon the right." Compare the comment on Exodus 26:18. Hangings. The word used is a rare one in this sense, quite different from those which have been employed for "curtains" or "hangings "previously (Exodus 26:1, 7, 36). The LXX. translate by ἱστία "sails;" and the Jewish commentators believe a loosely woven sail-cloth to be intended. Fine twined linen. See the comment on Exodus 26:1.Parallel Commentaries ...
