Contextual Overview

16 Moses proceeded to do everything just as the Lord had commanded him. 17 So the Tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year. 18 Moses erected the Tabernacle by setting down its bases, inserting the frames, attaching the crossbars, and setting up the posts. 19 Then he spread the coverings over the Tabernacle framework and put on the protective layers, just as the Lord had commanded him. 20 He took the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant and placed them inside the Ark. Then he attached the carrying poles to the Ark, and he set the Ark's cover—the place of atonement—on top of it. 21 Then he brought the Ark of the Covenant into the Tabernacle and hung the inner curtain to shield it from view, just as the Lord had commanded him. 22 Next Moses placed the table in the Tabernacle, along the north side of the Holy Place, just outside the inner curtain. 23 And he arranged the Bread of the Presence on the table before the Lord , just as the Lord had commanded him. 24 He set the lampstand in the Tabernacle across from the table on the south side of the Holy Place. 25 Then he lit the lamps in the Lord 's presence, just as the Lord had commanded him.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

up the court: Exodus 40:8, Exodus 27:9-16, Numbers 1:50, Matthew 16:8, 1 Corinthians 12:12, 1 Corinthians 12:28, Ephesians 4:11-13, Hebrews 9:6, Hebrews 9:7

the tabernacle: The tabernacle might either be called a house or a tent, because it had wooden walls and partitions like a house, and curtains and hangings like a tent; but as it externally resembled a common oblong tent, and the wooden walls were without a roof, and properly only supports for the many curtains and hangings spread over them, it is more properly called a tent. Even the ordinary tents of the Arabs have at least two main divisions; the innermost for the women, and hence called sacred, i.e., cut off, inaccessible. In the tent of an emir the innermost space is accessible to himself only, or those whom he particularly honours; into the outer tent others may come. The furniture is costly, the floor covered with a rich carpet, and has a stand with a censer and coals, on which incense is strewed. Hence we have the simple idea after which this magnificent royal tent of Jehovah, the King and God of the Hebrews, was made.

hanging: John 10:9, John 14:6, Ephesians 2:18, Hebrews 4:14-16

So Moses: Exodus 39:32, 1 Kings 6:9, Zechariah 4:9, John 4:34, John 17:4, 2 Timothy 4:7, Hebrews 3:2-5

Reciprocal: Exodus 38:9 - the court Leviticus 6:26 - in the court 1 Kings 7:51 - was ended

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar,.... Which consisted of hangings one hundred cubits long and fifty broad; see Exodus 27:9, c.

and set up the hanging of the court gate which was at the east end of it; and the hanging was of twenty cubits, hung upon four pillars,

Exodus 27:16

so Moses finished the work; of the tabernacle, in making it by workmen, and in rearing it up by the help of others; and as the former was the work of some months, so the latter, it is highly probable, was the work of some days, at least, in doing all that is said to be done in this chapter relative to it; for though it is said to be reared up on the first day of the first month, yet not then fully set up, or everything done requisite to the use and service of it; see Numbers 7:1.
