Likewise, for the north side
The term "likewise" indicates a continuation or repetition of instructions previously given, emphasizing the symmetry and orderliness of the Tabernacle's design. The "north side" is significant in biblical symbolism, often associated with God's hidden or mysterious aspects, as seen in Isaiah 14:13. The north side's construction mirrors the south, underscoring the balance and completeness in God's dwelling place.

along the length
This phrase highlights the meticulous attention to detail in the Tabernacle's construction. The "length" signifies the extension and reach of God's presence among His people. In a broader sense, it reflects the idea that God's covenant and promises extend throughout the entirety of His creation, offering a place of meeting and communion with Him.

there are to be hangings
The "hangings" refer to the linen curtains that formed the outer court of the Tabernacle. These hangings symbolize purity and separation, as linen is often associated with righteousness in Scripture (Revelation 19:8). They serve as a barrier, delineating the sacred space where God would dwell, reminding the Israelites of the holiness required to approach Him.

a hundred cubits long
The measurement of "a hundred cubits" reflects the precision and divine order in the Tabernacle's design. A cubit, approximately 18 inches, was a common biblical unit of measure. The specific length signifies completeness and perfection, as the number 100 often symbolizes fullness in biblical numerology. This measurement ensures the Tabernacle's proportions are exact, reflecting God's perfect nature.

with twenty posts
The "twenty posts" provide structural support for the hangings. In biblical symbolism, the number twenty can represent a period of waiting or expectation, as seen in the twenty years Jacob waited to be freed from Laban (Genesis 31:38-41). These posts, therefore, may symbolize the steadfastness and patience required in the faith journey, supporting the spiritual structure of the community.

and twenty bronze bases
The "bronze bases" serve as the foundation for the posts. Bronze, a durable metal, often symbolizes judgment and strength in Scripture (Revelation 1:15). The use of bronze for the bases suggests a firm and enduring foundation for the Tabernacle, reflecting the unshakeable nature of God's justice and the strength of His covenant with Israel.

with silver hooks and bands on the posts
Silver in the Bible often represents redemption and atonement (Exodus 30:11-16). The "silver hooks and bands" used to connect the hangings to the posts symbolize the means by which the Israelites are bound to God through redemption. This imagery points to the future redemptive work of Christ, who would ultimately fulfill the sacrificial system symbolized by the Tabernacle. The combination of silver and bronze in the construction underscores the balance of mercy and judgment in God's character.

(11, 12) The north side . . . This side of the court was to be in exact correspondence with the south. The western side was to be of only half the length (fifty cubits), and required therefore only half the number of pillars and sockets.

Verse 11. - The north side of the court is to be exactly similar to the south in all respects.
