Exodus 38:11BSB·traditional attribution
The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
These curtain walls, not stone, show the church then was a garden enclosed, confined to one nation but not forever. The enclosure itself would be taken down when the tent moved and made room for the Gentiles, as Isaiah saw. We pass through these courts toward the Holy Place above; the gradual approach teaches us that before we draw near to solemn ordinances, we must wash and prepare ourselves in a separated court with true hearts.
