Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long
on Exodus 27:14-16
Fifteen cubits of linen on either side leave a twenty-cubit gate, the one coloured thing in the perimeter. The single way in faces east, the quarter where Genesis 3:24 set the cherubim.

And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits,.... On the other side of the gate, or entrance into the court, on the northeast side, as the other may be supposed to be the southeast side, there was the same length of hangings: their pillars three, and their sockets three; the same as on the other side of the gate.

the court of the tabernacle--The enclosure in which the edifice stood was a rectangular court, extending rather more than fifty yards in length and half that space in breadth, and the enclosing parapet was about three yards or half the height of the tabernacle.
