Commentary for Exodus 27:15
Exodus 27:15 is a verse from the Old Testament of the Bible that provides specific instructions for the construction of the courtyard surrounding the Tabernacle, which was the portable dwelling place for God among the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. This verse details the dimensions and structure of one side of the rectangular courtyard enclosure. The hangings, or curtains, were to be fifteen cubits in length (a cubit being an ancient unit of measure typically based on the length of the forearm, approximately 18 inches or 45 centimeters), and these curtains were to be supported by three pillars set into three bronze sockets each.
The historical context of this verse is rooted in the detailed instructions God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai for the construction of the Tabernacle and its associated furnishings and structures. These instructions were part of the covenant between God and the Israelites, providing a sacred space where God's presence would dwell among His people and where they could offer sacrifices and worship according to His law. The precise specifications for the courtyard's construction, including the dimensions mentioned in Exodus 27:15, emphasize the importance of creating a sanctified environment that was set apart for the worship of God.
The themes present in this verse include holiness, order, and the importance of following divine instructions. The Tabernacle and its courtyard were designed to be a microcosm of the created world, reflecting the orderliness and intentionality of God's design. The meticulous attention to detail in the construction of the courtyard underscores the sanctity of the space and the reverence with which the Israelites were to approach God. Additionally, the communal effort required to construct the Tabernacle and its courtyard according to these specifications fostered a sense of unity and purpose among the Israelites as they worked together to honor God.
