Exodus 27:15

and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — God addresses Moses on Mount Sinai to detail the construction of the tabernacle courtyard. The command specifies the exact dimensions and hardware for the side hangings.

The words — קְלָעִים (ke.la.'Im) denotes the woven hangings, while אַדְנֵי ('ad.nei) refers to the socket-like bases that secure the supporting posts.

The thread — This specification mirrors the opposite side in Exodus 27:14 and establishes a symmetrical pattern that directly precedes the gate curtain measurements in Exodus 27:16.

Why it lands — The text requires exact replication of architectural specifications for a consecrated boundary. Readers must apply the same precision to defining worship spaces rather than relying on approximate measurements.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
