Curtains fifteen cubits long are to be on the other side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases. The second 15-cubit panel mirrors the first, completing the entrance frame. The symmetric entrance panels — 15 cubits on each side — create the 20-cubit opening in the center. The symmetry of the entrance reflects the covenant's equal access: the same 15 cubits on each side means no one approaches from a favored direction. The entrance to the tabernacle is designed for approach from the open east — the worshipper coming from the camp walks in a straight line from the gate through the courtyard to the sanctuary entrance.
