Éxodo 27:16 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 27:16

And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty
cubits
Which, with the fifteen on each side, make the fifty cubits, the breadth of the court eastward, ( Exodus 27:13 ) , this hanging was better than the rest, much finer and richer;

for it was of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen,
wrought with needle work:
and was of the same as the hangings for the door of the holy place, ( Exodus 26:36 ) this was a figure of Christ, and of the graces of the Spirit in him, and of his bloodshed, sufferings, and death; who is the door into the church, and to the ordinances of it, and leads on to the holy place, and even to the holy of holies, see ( John 10:9 ) ( Hebrews 10:20 )

their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four:
so that the pillars of this court at both sides and each end were sixty, twenty on each side, south and north, and ten at each end, west and east.
