Exodus 27:9

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 Exodus 27:12 , Exodus 27:18 ; and five cubits, or nearly three yards, high, Exodus 27:18 . And as this was but half the height of the tabernacle, Exodus 26:16 , that sacred building might easily be seen by the people from without.
