EXODUS 27:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.”
The west end of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide and have ten posts and ten bases. The west end of the courtyard — the end where the tabernacle's Most Holy Place is located — is 50 cubits wide with ten posts. Half the length and half the posts of the long sides. The proportional relationship between the courtyard's width and length creates the 2:1 ratio that governs the tabernacle's overall dimensions: twice as long as wide, at every scale from the inner curtains to the courtyard. The geometric consistency of the tabernacle's proportions is one of the evidences of its integrated, unified design.
