A cubit is generally considered to be about 18 inches, making the courtyard approximately 150 feet long and 75 feet wide. This size allowed for the necessary space for the Israelites to gather and for the priests to perform their duties. The rectangular shape is significant, as it mirrors the shape of the Tabernacle itself, emphasizing the importance of symmetry and order in worship. The courtyard served as a boundary, separating the sacred space from the common, symbolizing the holiness of God and the separation from sin.<p><b>with curtains of finely spun linen five cubits high</b><br>The use of finely spun linen for the curtains indicates the importance of purity and holiness. Linen was a material associated with purity and was often used in priestly garments. The height of five cubits, or about 7.5 feet, provided a barrier that was high enough to prevent people from seeing into the sacred space, maintaining the sanctity and privacy of the worship area. This separation underscores the concept of God's holiness and the need for reverence in approaching Him. The curtains also served as a visual reminder of the separation between God and humanity due to sin, pointing forward to the need for a mediator.<p><b>and with bronze bases</b><br>Bronze, a durable and strong metal, was used for the bases of the courtyard, providing stability and support for the structure. In biblical symbolism, bronze often represents judgment and endurance. The use of bronze in the Tabernacle's construction can be seen as a reminder of God's judgment against sin and the need for atonement. The bronze bases also highlight the strength and permanence of God's covenant with His people. In the broader biblical narrative, bronze is associated with the altar of burnt offering, where sacrifices were made, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who endured judgment on behalf of humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the instructions for the Tabernacle from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable sanctuary where God dwelled among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_courtyard.htm">The Courtyard</a></b><br>The outer area of the Tabernacle, which was enclosed by curtains and served as a place for the Israelites to gather and offer sacrifices.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and were journeying to the Promised Land.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The mountain where Moses received the Law and the instructions for the Tabernacle from God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_attention_to_detail.htm">God's Attention to Detail</a></b><br>The specific dimensions and materials for the Tabernacle's courtyard reflect God's meticulous nature and His desire for order and beauty in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_separation.htm">Holiness and Separation</a></b><br>The courtyard's design signifies the separation between the holy and the common, reminding believers of the call to live set apart for God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/approach_to_worship.htm">Approach to Worship</a></b><br>The structure of the Tabernacle, including the courtyard, teaches the importance of approaching God with reverence and according to His instructions.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_materials.htm">Symbolism of Materials</a></b><br>The use of bronze, linen, and other materials in the Tabernacle points to deeper spiritual truths, such as purity, strength, and the refining process.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a></b><br>The courtyard served as a gathering place for the Israelites, highlighting the communal aspect of worship and the importance of fellowship among believers.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_27.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 27</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_natural_religion.htm">What is the purpose of the Brazen Altar?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_moses'_tabernacle.htm">What was Moses' Tabernacle?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_israelites_transport_the_altar.htm">Exodus 27:1-8: How could the Israelites feasibly construct and transport such a large bronze-covered acacia wood altar during prolonged desert wanderings?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_could_birds_nest_on_a_used_altar.htm">In Psalm 84:3, how could birds nest on the altar if it was used for sacrifices?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/27.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(18) <span class= "bld">The length . . . an hundred cubits.</span>--Comp. <a href="/exodus/27-9.htm" title="And you shall make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side:">Exodus 27:9</a>, where this is given as the length of the hangings.<p><span class= "bld">The breadth fifty.</span>--Comp. <a href="/exodus/27-12.htm" title="And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.">Exodus 27:12</a>.<p><span class= "bld">The height five cubits.</span>--This had not been previously either stated or implied.
