Role in This Section

The wording “And for the east side eastward fifty cubits” at 38:13 supplies evidence for the unit's movement and its effect on the people named there.

  • Exodus 38:9–20

Read Exodus 38:13 with 38:9–20. The wording “And for the east side eastward fifty cubits” at 38:13 supplies evidence for the unit's movement and its effect on the people named there. The whole unit shows: Hangings, pillars, bases, hooks, gate screen, cords, and pegs establish the outer court exactly as instructed.

Why It Needs Context

The wording “And for the east side eastward fifty cubits” at 38:13 supplies evidence for the unit's movement and its effect on the people named there. Its force depends on 38:9–20; detached from “The Courtyard and Gate Are Completed,” the words “And for the east side eastward fifty cubits” could be mistaken for a complete command, promise, judgment, explanation, or doctrine.
