In the construction of the Tabernacle, these bases were made of bronze, a metal symbolizing judgment and endurance. The courtyard served as a boundary, separating the sacred space from the common, emphasizing the holiness of God. The gate of the courtyard was the only entrance, symbolizing the singular way to approach God, which foreshadows Jesus Christ as the only way to the Father (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>). The bases provided stability and structure, reflecting the firm foundation of faith required to approach God.<p><b>and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and its surrounding courtyard</b><br>Tent pegs were essential for securing the Tabernacle and its courtyard, ensuring stability against the elements. Made of bronze, these pegs symbolize the grounding of faith and the steadfastness required in the believer's life. The use of bronze, a durable material, underscores the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel. The pegs' function in holding the structure together can be seen as a type of the believer's role in maintaining the unity and integrity of the faith community. The meticulous detail in the construction of the Tabernacle reflects God's desire for order and precision in worship, pointing to the orderliness of creation and the detailed fulfillment of prophecy in Christ.<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 construction of the Tabernacle from God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/b/bezalel_and_oholiab.htm">Bezalel and Oholiab</a></b><br>Skilled craftsmen appointed by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable sanctuary that served as the dwelling place of God among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_courtyard.htm">The Courtyard</a></b><br>The outer area surrounding the Tabernacle, enclosed by curtains and supported by bases and tent pegs.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who contributed materials and labor for the construction of the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The detailed construction of the Tabernacle, including the bases and tent pegs, underscores the importance of following God's instructions precisely.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_among_his_people.htm">God's Presence Among His People</a></b><br>The Tabernacle symbolizes God's desire to dwell among His people, reminding us of His continual presence in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_community_in_worship.htm">The Role of Community in Worship</a></b><br>The Israelites' collective effort in building the Tabernacle highlights the importance of community in worship and service to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_foundations.htm">Spiritual Foundations</a></b><br>Just as the bases provided stability for the Tabernacle, our lives require a firm spiritual foundation rooted in Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/temporary_vs._eternal.htm">Temporary vs. Eternal</a></b><br>The portable nature of the Tabernacle points to the temporary nature of earthly things and the eternal dwelling we have with God through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_38.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 38</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_no_evidence_for_exodus_38_structure.htm">Why do we find no clear archaeological evidence for such a massive sacred structure, as described throughout Exodus 38?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_aren't_other_sources_consistent_on_exodus.htm">If Moses received precise instructions for the Tabernacle in Exodus 38:1-7, why aren't there consistent records in other ancient sources acknowledging this event?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_mirrors_fit_ancient_tech_practices.htm">Exodus 38:8 describes the use of women's mirrors in creating the bronze basin; how does this detail align with known technological practices of that era?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_the_pearly_gates.htm">What are the pearly gates?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/38.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(31) <span class= "bld">The sockets of the court.</span>--See <a href="/context/exodus/27-10.htm" title="And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.">Exodus 27:10-12</a>; <a href="/context/exodus/27-15.htm" title="And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.">Exodus 27:15-18</a>.<p><span class= "bld">The pins of the tabernacle</span>.--Comp. <a href="/exodus/27-19.htm" title="All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.">Exodus 27:19</a>; <a href="/exodus/38-20.htm" title="And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.">Exodus 38:20</a>; and see Note on the<p>former passage.<p><span class= "bld">The pins of the court.</span>--See chan. 27:19. . . . <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/38-31.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">the bases</span><br /><span class="heb">אַדְנֵ֤י</span> <span class="translit">(’aḏ·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
