EXODUS 38:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.”
The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high. The entrance screen — embroidered with the covenant colors in fine linen, twenty cubits wide — is the final boundary object. The embroidered entrance screen bearing the full covenant color vocabulary welcomes the worshipper. Psalm 100:4 says enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise — the embroidered gate of Exodus 38 is the gate the psalm invites the community to enter with joy.
