God's Orderly Design

Commentators note that the north side of the court was an exact mirror of the south side. This precise symmetry in length, pillars, and materials (brass and silver) was not accidental. It reflects God's nature—He is a God of order and intention, not chaos. The detailed instructions for His dwelling place show that He cares about the specifics of how His people approach Him.
