God's Meticulous Plan

Commentators explain that this verse details a portion of the courtyard's eastern entrance. The entire 50-cubit width was intentionally divided into two 15-cubit sections of hangings (requiring three pillars each) and a central 20-cubit gate. This meticulous planning highlights God's attention to detail and the importance of order in the space dedicated to His worship.
