Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 27:18
The length of the court [shall be] a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits [of] fine twined linen, and their sockets [of] brass.
18. every where ] a lapsus calami in the Heb. for cubits, which is read by Sam. The text implies an otherwise unknown Heb. idiom, and the Eth. usage (Di. Eth. Gr. 159 g ) referred to by Knig (iii. 316 c ) is not the same.

The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits,…. And as may be concluded from the length of the hangings on each side:
and the breadth fifty everywhere; at both ends, and was the breadth of the hangings there, and which all around made the court:
and the height five cubits; or two yards and a half, and somewhat more; it was but half the height of the tabernacle, and hence that might be seen above it every way; so that, according to Bishop Cumberland, it contained one rood, twenty one perches, and twenty seven square feet, and was half an Egyptian aroura, which is the square of one hundred Jewish or Egyptian cubits: “of fine twined linen”; of which the hangings were made, and here called the court, as they properly were, for they made it:
and their sockets of brass; the bases on which all the pillars stood, upon which the hangings of fine twined linen were, were of brass; which seems to be repeated, that the foundation of this court might be observed to be different from that of the tabernacle; the foundation of that, or the sockets, into which the boards of it were put, being of silver.

Verses 18, 19:
The dimensions of the tabernacle courtyard: 100 cubits (150 feet) by 50 cubits (75 feet). The curtain wall was to be 5 cubits (7 1/2 feet) high.
There were many vessels used in the tabernacle service. These were made of copper (brass), a very durable and malleable metal.
“Pins,” yathed, “nail,” the pins or pegs whereby the tent was kept taut and in place. It is possible these were also used to keep the pillars upright.

(18) The length . . . an hundred cubits.Comp. Exo. 27:9, where this is given as the length of the hangings.
The breadth fifty.Comp. Exo. 27:12.
The height five cubits.This had not been previously either stated or implied. It has been noted that, with one exception, all the measurements of the tabernacle and the court, as distinct from the furniture, are either five cubits or some multiple of five. The one exception is the length of the inner covering (Exo. 26:2), which was determined by the pitch of the roof.
