Commentary
5 notes on this verseAll the vessels - shall be of brass - It would have been improper to have used instruments made of the more precious metals about this altar, as they must have been soon worn out by the severity of the service.
This site's exposition
All the pillars round about the court
on Exodus 27:17-19
Every pillar in the perimeter is filleted with silver, and Exodus 38:25 to 28 says where that silver came from, the half shekel each man paid when he was numbered, with what remained after the hundred sockets made into hooks and fillets. The linen wall stands five cubits high, above the head of a man, so the court screened the altar from anyone standing outside it. The chapter then names the tent pins, and the smallest piece of the structure is specified along with the rest.

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.
