Now the tabernacle was to be surrounded by a court; on the
South side there were to be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of one
hundred cubits long; and the twenty pillars and their twenty sockets were directed
to be of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver.
On the
North side there were to be also hangings one hundred cubits in length; and
their twenty pillars, and their twenty sockets, and the hooks of their pillars
were also to be of silver. So we see God
knows his metals, when to use silver to adorn, bronze a hardier metal near heat
and silver where constant stress is implied.
For the
breath of the court on the West side, were to be hangings of fifty cubits,
their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
And the breath of the court on the East side, fifty cubits. The hangings on one side of the gate were to be
fifteen cubits, the pillars three and their sockets three; and on the other
side of the gate hangings fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets
three.
The gate to
the court to be an hanging of twenty cubits of blue and purple and scarlet, and
fine twined linen wrought with needlework, and their pillars shall be four and
their sockets four. And the pillars round
about the court were to be banded with silver, their hooks of silver and their
sockets of bronze.
The length
of the court ordered to be a hundred cubits, and the breath fifteen everywhere,
and the height five cubits of fine twined linen and their sockets of bronze.
All the
vessels of the tabernacle in all the services thereof and all the pins of the
court were to be of bronze.
Moses was
commanded to command the children of Israel to donate pure olive oil for
the lamps that they should burn always,
And Aaron
and his sons were to watch and see to it that the lamps around the tabernacle
were kept burning and attend outside the veil, an obligation which was to
continue through all the generations of the children of Israel . More
