Exodus 27:9-19: The Court of the Tabernacle

These verses describe the court, or outer yard, that surrounded the tabernacle. It was enclosed by fine linen hangings and supported by strong pillars. The court separated the place of worship from the rest of the camp, showing that God’s people were set apart from the world. The court was a symbol of the church, supported by pillars and surrounded by “righteousness” (Revelation 19:8 ^a). The entrance was special, with a finely decorated hanging, reminding us of the way into God’s presence. In the Old Testament, only a few people could worship here, but now, through Jesus, all believers can come to God wherever they are (Psalm 84:2,10; Psalm 100:4 ^b).
