Kommentar zu Schemot 27:18

ארך החצר THE LENGTH OF THE ENCLOSURE — i. e. its north and south sides which run from east to west, SHALL BE A HUNDRED CUBITS.

חמש אמות, "five cubits high, etc." Please refer to what I have written about this in connection with 25,9 on the words וכן תעשו.

ורוחב חמישים בחמישים, how so? The overall length of the courtyard was 100 cubits stretching from east to west, both to the north and the south of the Tabernacle itself. The courtyard was 50 cubits wide when viewed from north to south. The Tabernacle itself was 30 cubits long and 10 cubits wide. Moses erected the Tabernacle not in the center of the courtyard but in the western half of the courtyard, so that the approach to the Tabernacle beginning with the easterly entrance to the courtyard occupied an area of 50 cubits square. The Tabernacle itself was surrounded on the other three sides by 20 cubits of free space, i.e. both to the north, the south and to the west, seeing that it was only 30 cubits long.
