And the hangings of the court, etc.] Which made the great court that surrounded the tabernacle, (<022709>Exodus 27:9); and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court; the eastern gate that led into the court, an hanging of twenty cubits, (<022716>Exodus 27:16); which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about; that is, which hangings that formed the court, and were round about the tabernacle, and the altar of burnt offering; (see Gill on “<022636>Exodus 26:36”); and their cords; which fastened the hangings to pins or stakes fixed in the ground to keep them tight, that they might not be moved to and fro with the wind: and all the instruments of their service; in the court, as the tables on which the sacrifices were laid, and the hooks, and cords, and pins, on which they were hung and fastened, as Aben Ezra; (see <264039>Ezekiel 40:39-43); and all that is made for them; for the vessels of service, or for the tabernacle, or the altar, as the same writer intimates: so shall they serve; by bearing them and carrying them.
