The curtains on the other side
This phrase refers to the continuation of the instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle's courtyard. The Hebrew word for "curtains" is "קְלָעִים" (qela'im), which implies woven fabric, indicating the skill and craftsmanship involved. The "other side" suggests symmetry and balance in the design, reflecting God's order and precision in His dwelling place among His people.

shall also be fifteen cubits long
The measurement of "fifteen cubits" (approximately 22.5 feet or 6.8 meters) is significant in the context of the Tabernacle's design. The number fifteen in Hebrew thought can symbolize rest after deliverance, as it is the sum of seven (completion) and eight (new beginnings). This length ensures the enclosure of the sacred space, maintaining the sanctity and separation from the outside world.

with three posts and three bases
The "three posts" and "three bases" provide structural support for the curtains. The number three often represents divine completeness or perfection in biblical numerology, as seen in the Trinity. The posts and bases, likely made of acacia wood and bronze, respectively, symbolize strength and stability, ensuring the integrity of the Tabernacle's perimeter. This construction reflects the enduring nature of God's covenant and His steadfast presence with Israel.
