And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
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.

And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits,.... On the other side of the gate, or entrance into the court, on the northeast side, as the other may be supposed to be the southeast side, there was the same length of hangings: their pillars three, and their sockets three; the same as on the other side of the gate.
The pillars stood five cubits apart on every side, sixty in all, to fence a rectangle one hundred cubits long and fifty broad. The front opened eastward with a gate-curtain in the middle, flanked by two sections of fifteen cubits each, and the whole was built in exact measure.
