13 And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.
13 On the east end, toward the sunrise, the courtyard shall also be fifty cubits wide.
13 The breadth of the court on the front to the east shall be fifty cubits.
13 Across the seventy-five feet at the front, or east end,
13 The width of the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits.
13 The east end of the courtyard, the front, will also be 75Â feet long.

Commentary on Exodus 27:9-19
(Read Exodus 27:9-19)
The tabernacle was enclosed in a court, about sixty yards long and thirty broad, formed by curtains hung upon brazen pillars, fixed in brazen sockets. Within this enclosure the priests and Levites offered the sacrifices, and thither the Jewish people were admitted. These distinctions represented the difference between the visible nominal church, and the true spiritual church, which alone has access to God, and communion with him.
