Set up
The Hebrew root for "set up" is "qum," which means to establish, raise, or erect. This action signifies the importance of preparation and dedication in worship. In the context of the Tabernacle, setting up the courtyard was a physical manifestation of obedience to God's detailed instructions. It reflects the broader biblical theme of establishing a place for God's presence, emphasizing the need for intentionality in creating spaces for divine encounter.

the surrounding courtyard
The courtyard served as a boundary, delineating sacred space from the common. In Hebrew, "chatser" refers to an enclosure or court. Historically, the courtyard was a place where the Israelites could gather, symbolizing communal access to God while maintaining reverence for His holiness. The courtyard's design reflects God's desire for order and structure in worship, reminding believers of the importance of approaching God with respect and awe.

and hang
The verb "hang" comes from the Hebrew "natan," meaning to give or place. This action of hanging the curtain signifies the act of setting apart and consecrating the space. It is a reminder of the care and precision required in worship practices, highlighting the importance of following God's instructions meticulously. The act of hanging the curtain also symbolizes the separation between the holy and the common, a theme prevalent throughout the Old Testament.

the curtain
The Hebrew word for "curtain" is "masak," which refers to a screen or covering. In the Tabernacle, the curtain served as a barrier, providing a sense of mystery and reverence. It represents the separation between God and humanity due to sin, yet also points to the hope of reconciliation. The curtain's presence in the Tabernacle foreshadows the New Testament revelation of Christ, who tore the veil, granting believers direct access to God.

for the entrance
The "entrance" or "petach" in Hebrew signifies an opening or doorway. This entrance was the only way into the courtyard, symbolizing the singular path to God. It reflects the biblical principle that there is one way to approach God, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who declared Himself the way, the truth, and the life. The entrance to the courtyard serves as a reminder of the exclusivity and inclusivity of God's invitation to His people.

of the courtyard
The courtyard, or "chatser," as mentioned earlier, was a place of gathering and worship. It was the outermost part of the Tabernacle complex, accessible to all Israelites. The courtyard's function underscores the communal aspect of worship and the importance of coming together as a people to honor God. It serves as a reminder of the collective identity of God's people and their shared responsibility to uphold His commandments and worship Him in unity.

(8) The court . . . the hanging.--See Exodus 27:9-18.

Verse 8. - The court. See Exodus 27:9-18; Exodus 38:9-20. The hanging at the court gate - i.e., the curtain at the entrance of the court (Exodus 27:16; Exodus 38:18).
