“And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.”
Exodus 38:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 38:13
The east side (פְּאַת קֵדְמָה מִזְרָחָה, pe'at kedmah mizrachah, 'east side toward the sunrise') at fifty cubits establishes the courtyard's entrance orientation. Facing east meant worshipers approached moving westward, away from the rising sun—a deliberate rejection of solar deity worship common in surrounding cultures. This orientation teaches that approaching God requires turning from created things to the Creator (Romans 1:25). The east entrance also recalls Eden's eastern entry (Genesis 3:24), now reopened through sacrificial system pointing to Christ.
