9 And thou shalt make H6213 the court H2691 of the tabernacle: H4908 for the south H5045 side H6285 southward H8486 there shall be hangings H7050 for the court H2691 of fine twined H7806 linen H8336 of an hundred H3967 cubits H520 long H753 for one H259 side: H6285
And he made H6213 the court: H2691 on the south H5045 side H6285 southward H8486 the hangings H7050 of the court H2691 were of fine twined H7806 linen, H8336 an hundred H3967 cubits: H520 Their pillars H5982 were twenty, H6242 and their brasen H5178 sockets H134 twenty; H6242 the hooks H2053 of the pillars H5982 and their fillets H2838 were of silver. H3701 And for the north H6828 side H6285 the hangings were an hundred H3967 cubits, H520 their pillars H5982 were twenty, H6242 and their sockets H134 of brass H5178 twenty; H6242 the hooks H2053 of the pillars H5982 and their fillets H2838 of silver. H3701 And for the west H3220 side H6285 were hangings H7050 of fifty H2572 cubits, H520 their pillars H5982 ten, H6235 and their sockets H134 ten; H6235 the hooks H2053 of the pillars H5982 and their fillets H2838 of silver. H3701 And for the east H6924 side H6285 eastward H4217 fifty H2572 cubits. H520 The hangings H7050 of the one side H3802 of the gate were fifteen H2568 H6240 cubits; H520 their pillars H5982 three, H7969 and their sockets H134 three. H7969 And for the other H8145 side H3802 of the court H2691 gate, H8179 on this hand and that hand, were hangings H7050 of fifteen H2568 H6240 cubits; H520 their pillars H5982 three, H7969 and their sockets H134 three. H7969 All the hangings H7050 of the court H2691 round about H5439 were of fine twined H7806 linen. H8336 And the sockets H134 for the pillars H5982 were of brass; H5178 the hooks H2053 of the pillars H5982 and their fillets H2838 of silver; H3701 and the overlaying H6826 of their chapiters H7218 of silver; H3701 and all the pillars H5982 of the court H2691 were filleted H2836 with silver. H3701 And the hanging H4539 for the gate H8179 of the court H2691 was needlework, H7551 H4639 of blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 and fine twined H7806 linen: H8336 and twenty H6242 cubits H520 was the length, H753 and the height H6967 in the breadth H7341 was five H2568 cubits, H520 answerable H5980 to the hangings H7050 of the court. H2691 And their pillars H5982 were four, H702 and their sockets H134 of brass H5178 four; H702 their hooks H2053 of silver, H3701 and the overlaying H6826 of their chapiters H7218 and their fillets H2838 of silver. H3701 And all the pins H3489 of the tabernacle, H4908 and of the court H2691 round about, H5439 were of brass. H5178
In the courts H2691 of the LORD'S H3068 house, H1004 in the midst H8432 of thee, O Jerusalem. H3389 Praise H1984 ye the LORD. H3050
Then said H559 he unto me, This is the place H4725 where the priests H3548 shall boil H1310 the trespass offering H817 and the sin offering, H2403 where they shall bake H644 the meat offering; H4503 that they bear H3318 them not out into the utter H2435 court, H2691 to sanctify H6942 the people. H5971 Then he brought me forth H3318 into the utter H2435 court, H2691 and caused me to pass by H5674 the four H702 corners H4740 of the court; H2691 and, behold, in every H4740 corner H4740 of the court H2691 H2691 there was a court. H2691 In the four H702 corners H4740 of the court H2691 there were courts H2691 joined H7000 of forty H705 cubits long H753 and thirty H7970 broad: H7341 these four H702 corners H7106 were of one H259 measure. H4060 And there was a row H2905 of building round about H5439 in them, round about H5439 them four, H702 and it was made H6213 with boiling places H4018 under the rows H2918 round about. H5439 Then said H559 he unto me, These are the places H1004 of them that boil, H1310 where the ministers H8334 of the house H1004 shall boil H1310 the sacrifice H2077 of the people. H5971
He turned about H5437 to the west H3220 side, H7307 and measured H4058 five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds H7070 with the measuring H4060 reed. H7070 He measured H4058 it by the four H702 sides: H7307 it had a wall H2346 round about, H5439 five H2568 hundred H3967 reeds long, H753 and five H2568 hundred H3967 broad, H7341 to make a separation H914 between the sanctuary H6944 and the profane place. H2455
Over against the twenty H6242 cubits which were for the inner H6442 court, H2691 and over against the pavement H7531 which was for the utter H2435 court, H2691 was gallery H862 against H6440 gallery H862 in three H7992 stories.
And without H2351 the inner H6442 gate H8179 were the chambers H3957 of the singers H7891 in the inner H6442 court, H2691 which was at the side H3802 of the north H6828 gate; H8179 and their prospect H6440 was toward H1870 the south: H1864 one H259 at the side H3802 of the east H6921 gate H8179 having the prospect H6440 toward H1870 the north. H6828
And he brought H935 me into the inner H6442 court H2691 toward H1870 the east: H6921 and he measured H4058 the gate H8179 according to these measures. H4060
And the gate H8179 of the outward H2435 court H2691 that looked H6440 toward H1870 the north, H6828 he measured H4058 the length H753 thereof, and the breadth H7341 thereof.
He made H6213 also posts H352 of threescore H8346 cubits, H520 even unto the post H352 of the court H2691 round about H5439 the gate. H8179
And thou shalt make H6213 a vail H6532 of blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 and fine twined H7806 linen H8336 of cunning H2803 work: H4639 with cherubims H3742 shall it be made: H6213 And thou shalt hang H5414 it upon four H702 pillars H5982 of shittim H7848 wood overlaid H6823 with gold: H2091 their hooks H2053 shall be of gold, H2091 upon the four H702 sockets H134 of silver. H3701 And thou shalt hang up H5414 the vail H6532 under the taches, H7165 that thou mayest bring H935 in thither within H1004 the vail H6532 the ark H727 of the testimony: H5715 and the vail H6532 shall divide H914 unto you between the holy H6944 place and the most H6944 holy. H6944 And thou shalt put H5414 the mercy seat H3727 upon the ark H727 of the testimony H5715 in the most H6944 holy H6944 place. And thou shalt set H7760 the table H7979 without H2351 the vail, H6532 and the candlestick H4501 over against H5227 the table H7979 on the side H6763 of the tabernacle H4908 toward the south: H8486 and thou shalt put H5414 the table H7979 on the north H6828 side. H6763 And thou shalt make H6213 an hanging H4539 for the door H6607 of the tent, H168 of blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8438 H8144 and fine twined H7806 linen, H8336 wrought H4639 with needlework. H7551 And thou shalt make H6213 for the hanging H4539 five H2568 pillars H5982 of shittim H7848 wood, and overlay H6823 them with gold, H2091 and their hooks H2053 shall be of gold: H2091 and thou shalt cast H3332 five H2568 sockets H134 of brass H5178 for them.
Enter H935 into his gates H8179 with thanksgiving, H8426 and into his courts H2691 with praise: H8416 be thankful H3034 unto him, and bless H1288 his name. H8034
And he built H1129 altars H4196 for all the host H6635 of heaven H8064 in the two H8147 courts H2691 of the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
The same day H3117 did the king H4428 hallow H6942 the middle H8432 of the court H2691 that was before H6440 the house H1004 of the LORD: H3068 for there he offered H6213 burnt offerings, H5930 and meat offerings, H4503 and the fat H2459 of the peace offerings: H8002 because the brasen H5178 altar H4196 that was before H6440 the LORD H3068 was too little H6996 to receive H3557 the burnt offerings, H5930 and meat offerings, H4503 and the fat H2459 of the peace offerings. H8002
And thou shalt set up H7760 the court H2691 round about, H5439 and hang up H5414 the hanging H4539 at the court H2691 gate. H8179
The hangings H7050 of the court, H2691 his pillars, H5982 and his sockets, H134 and the hanging H4539 for the court H2691 gate, H8179 his cords, H4340 and his pins, H3489 and all the vessels H3627 of the service H5656 of the tabernacle, H4908 for the tent H168 of the congregation, H4150

CHAPTER 27
Ex 27:1-21. Altar for Burnt Offering.
1, 2. altar of shittim wood—The dimensions of this altar which was placed at the entrance of the sanctuary were nearly three yards square, and a yard and a half in height. Under the wooden frame of this chest-like altar the inside was hollow, and each corner was to be terminated by "horns"—angular projections, perpendicular or oblique, in the form of horns. The animals to be sacrificed were bound to these (Ps 118:27), and part of the blood was applied to them.
3. shovels—fire shovels for scraping together any of the scattered ashes.
basons—for receiving the blood of the sacrifice to be sprinkled on the people.
fleshhooks—curved, three-pronged forks (1Sa 2:13, 14).
fire-pans—A large sort of vessel, wherein the sacred fire which came down from heaven (Le 9:24) was kept burning, while they cleaned the altar and the grate from the coals and ashes, and while the altar was carried from one place to another in the wilderness [Patrick, Spencer, Le Clerc].
4. a grate of network of brass—sunk latticework to support the fire.
four brazen rings—by which the grating might be lifted and taken away as occasion required from the body of the altar.
5. put it under the compass of the altar beneath—that is, the grating in which they were carried to a clean place (Le 4:12).
6, 7. staves … rings—Those rings were placed at the side through which the poles were inserted on occasions of removal.
9-19. the court of the tabernacle—The enclosure in which the edifice stood was a rectangular court, extending rather more than fifty yards in length and half that space in breadth, and the enclosing parapet was about three yards or half the height of the tabernacle. That parapet consisted of a connected series of curtains, made of fine twined linen yarn, woven into a kind of network, so that the people could see through; but that large curtain which overhung the entrance was of a different texture, being embroidered and dyed with variegated colors, and it was furnished with cords for pulling it up or drawing it aside when the priests had occasion to enter. The curtains of this enclosure were supported on sixty brazen pillars which stood on pedestals of the same metal, but their capitals and fillets were of silver, and the hooks on which they were suspended were of silver also.
19. pins—were designed to hold down the curtains at the bottom, lest the wind should waft them aside.
20, 21. pure oil olive beaten—that is, such as runs from the olives when bruised and without the application of fire.
for the light … Aaron and his sons—were to take charge of lighting it in all time coming.
21. shall order it from evening to morning—The tabernacle having no windows, the lamps required to be lighted during the day. Josephus says that in his time only three were lighted; but his were degenerate times, and there is no Scripture authority for this limitation. But although the priests were obliged from necessity to light them by day, they might have let them go out at night had it not been for this express ordinance.
