And he measured the inner court and found it was a square—a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, and the altar was in front of the temple—establishing the inner courtyard as a perfect square and locating the altar centrally within it. The square shape suggests perfect proportion and order. The hundred-cubit dimension matches the outer courtyard's width and suggests proportional relationship between the spaces. The altar's central placement emphasizes its significance as the focal point of the temple complex. The direction 'in front of the temple' establishes the altar's orientation toward the sanctuary building. This verse establishes the dimensions and arrangement of the inner court.
