Verse 16. And for the gate of the court] It appears that the hangings of this gate were of the same materials and workmanship with that of the inner covering of the tabernacle, and the outer and inner veil. See Ex 26:36.

And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits,…. Which, with the fifteen on each side, make the fifty cubits, the breadth of the court eastward, Ex 27:13, this hanging was better than the rest, much finer and richer;
for it was of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needle work: and was of the same as the hangings for the door of the holy place, Ex 26:36 this was a figure of Christ, and of the graces of the Spirit in him, and of his bloodshed, sufferings, and death; who is the door into the church, and to the ordinances of it, and leads on to the holy place, and even to the holy of holies, see
Joh 10:9
their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four: so that the pillars of this court at both sides and each end were sixty, twenty on each side, south and north, and ten at each end, west and east.

Verses 16, 17:
The curtain-walls of the courtyard were likely white, fine twined linen. The curtains for the opening were of the same material and workmanship as those of the door of the tabernacle.

(16) For the gate of the courti.e., the entrance.
An hanging.The word is the same as that similarly translated in Exo. 26:36 and Exo. 26:37 of Exodus 26; and the description of the hanging is also, word for word, the same. It would contrast strongly with the plain white sail-cloth round the rest of the enclosure, and would clearly point out to all the place of entrance.

gate
In the hangings of the court (Exo 27:9), representing that practical righteousness which God demands in the law, and which, therefore, bars out all men; Rom 3:19; Rom 3:20; Rom 10:3-5. No colours are inwrought. But the “gate” is Christ Joh 10:9 and so the colours reappear as in the veil Exo 26:31.
