Here is an account, I. Of the making of the brazen altar , and the laver, Ex. 38:8. II. The preparing of the hangings for the enclosing of the court in which the tabernacle was to stand, Ex. 38:9–20. III.

Bezaleel having finished the gold-work, which, though the richest, yet was ordered to lie most out of sight, in the tabernacle itself, here goes on to prepare the court, which lay open to the view of all. Two things the court was furnished with, and both made of brass:— I.

The walls of the court, or church-yard, were like the rest curtains or hangings, made according to the appointment, Ex. 27:9–19, &c. This represented the state of the Old-Testament church: it was a garden enclosed; the worshippers were then confined to a little compass.

Here we have a breviat of the account which, by Moses’s appointment, the Levites took and kept of the gold, silver, and brass, that was brought in for the tabernacle’s use, and how it was employed.
