Barnes' Notes
The court of the tabernacle - (Compare Exodus 38:9-20)
Exodus 27:9
The south side southward - The south side on the right. See Exodus 26:18.
Exodus 27:10
Sockets - Bases. See Exodus 26:19.
Fillets - Rather, Connecting rods; curtain-rods of silver connecting the heads of the pillars. The hangings were attached to the pillars by the silver hooks; but the length of the space between the pillars would render it most probable that they were also in some way fastened to these rods.
Exodus 27:13
The east side eastward - On the front side eastward.
Exodus 27:16
An hanging - An entrance curtain, which, unlike the hangings at the sides and back of the court, could be drawn up, or aside, at pleasure. The words are rightly distinguished in our Bible in Numbers 3:26.
Wrought with nedlework - The work of the embroiderer. See Exodus 26:36; Exodus 35:35. On the materials, see Exodus 25:4.
Exodus 27:17
Filleted with silver - Connected with silver rods. See Exodus 27:10,
Exodus 27:19
All the vessels ... - All the tools of the tabernacle used in all its workmanship, and all its tent-pins, and all the tent-pins of the court, shall be of bronze. The working tools of the sanctuary were most probably such things as axes, knives, hammers, etc. that were employed in making, repairing, setting up and taking down the structure. Compare Numbers 3:36.
The tabernacle - The word is here to be taken as including both the ׁ mı̂shkân and the tent, as in Numbers 1:51, Numbers 1:53, etc. (see Exodus 26:1 note).
The pins - tent-pins.
