God's Orderly Design

Commentators note the precise and proportional measurements for the Tabernacle court. The west side, at 50 cubits, was exactly half the length of the north and south sides and thus had exactly half the number of pillars (10). This mathematical harmony reflects the orderliness and intentionality of God in every detail of worship.
