In biblical symbolism, the east often represents the direction from which divine intervention or revelation comes. This orientation is consistent with other biblical structures, such as the Temple in Jerusalem, which also faced east. The eastward orientation can be seen as a type of Christ, who is referred to as the "Sun of Righteousness" in <a href="/malachi/4-2.htm">Malachi 4:2</a>, bringing light and life to the world.<p><b>was also fifty cubits long.</b><br>The measurement of fifty cubits for the east side of the Tabernacle courtyard reflects the precise and orderly nature of God's instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle. A cubit is generally considered to be about 18 inches, making this side approximately 75 feet long. The number fifty in the Bible often signifies completion or fullness, as seen in the Year of Jubilee, which occurred every fifty years and was a time of liberation and restoration. This measurement underscores the completeness and sufficiency of God's provision and design for His dwelling place among His people.<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>The portable sanctuary where God dwelled 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 area surrounding the Tabernacle, which included the altar of burnt offering and the bronze basin.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_east_side.htm">The East Side</a></b><br>The specific side of the Tabernacle's courtyard mentioned in this verse, measuring fifty cubits in length.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_detailed_instructions.htm">God's Detailed Instructions</a></b><br>The precise measurements and instructions for the Tabernacle remind us of God's attention to detail and His desire for order in worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_the_east.htm">Symbolism of the East</a></b><br>The east side's significance can be seen in biblical symbolism, often representing new beginnings and the coming of light, as seen in the rising sun.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_and_worship.htm">Community and Worship</a></b><br>The Tabernacle served as a central place for the community to gather and worship, highlighting the importance of communal worship in our lives today.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The construction of the Tabernacle according to God's specifications underscores the importance of obedience in our relationship with Him.<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 was a tangible sign of God's presence, reminding us that God desires to dwell with His people and be actively involved in their lives.<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/biblical_weights_and_measures.htm">What are the Biblical weights and measures?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_do_locusts_symbolize_in_the_bible.htm">What does a locust swarm symbolize in the Bible?</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/how_do_mirrors_fit_ancient_tech_practices.htm">Exodus 38:8 describes the use of women's mirrors in creating the bronze basin;
