Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 9. The court of the tabernacle] The tabernacle stood in an enclosure or court, open at the top. This court was made with pillars or posts, and hangings. It was one hundred cubits, or about fifty-eight yards and a half, in length; the breadth we learn from ver. 12, 18; and five cubits, or nearly three yards, high, ver. 18. And as this was but half the height of the tabernacle, chap. xxvi. 16, that sacred building might easily be seen by the people from without.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-19 - The tabernacle was enclosed in a court, about sixty yards long an thirty broad, formed by curtains hung upon brazen pillars, fixed i brazen sockets. Within this enclosure the priests and Levites offere the sacrifices, and thither the Jewish people were admitted. Thes distinctions represented the difference between the visible nomina church, and the true spiritual church, which alone has access to God and communion with him.
