Exodus 27:13Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

The enclosure of the tabernacle featured a curtain that measured 100 cubits in length, yet it was supported by only 20 pillars. This arrangement created a gap of five cubits between each pillar. Connections, likely staves, were established among the pillars, and the white linen veil was suspended from them using silver staves and hooks. The tops of these pillars were also adorned with silver. At the front of the enclosure, there were just three posts on either side that held up the extended portion of the linen veil. An opening, measuring twenty cubits wide, was intentionally left for entry.
