God's Orderly Design

Commentators note the perfect symmetry described in this verse. The fifteen-cubit hangings on one side of the entrance gate are exactly mirrored on the other. This meticulous balance in the Tabernacle's courtyard is seen as a reflection of God's own nature—He is a God of order, precision, and intentional design, not of chaos.
