Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“The court of the tabernacle - (Compare Exodus 38:9-20) Exodus 27:9 The south side southward - The south side on the right. See Exodus 26:18. Exodus 27:10 Sockets - Bases. See Exodus 26:19. Fillets - Rather, Connecting rods; curtain-rods of silver connecting the heads of the pillars. The hangings were attached to the pillars by the silver hooks; but the length of the space between the pillars would render it most probable that they were also in some way fastened to these rods. Exodus 27:13 The east side eastward - On the front side eastward. Exodus 27:16 An hanging - An entrance curtain, which, unlike the hangings at the sides and back of the court, could be drawn up, or aside, at pleasure.…”
