And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.
The court was a fence of finest linen, set upon pillars of brass and silver, the church enclosed and distinguished from the world, held steady by the support of pillars, and clothed in the righteousness of saints. Yet David longed for those courts, for they held but a handful of worshippers. But now the gospel has torn down the wall; God wills that men pray everywhere, and Christ's name opens the door to all.
