l In describing the hangings that served as a seven-and-one-half-foot fence around the courtyard Moses assigned one pillar to each seven and one half lineal feet of material. In this way he spoke of twenty pillars to each side and ten pillars to each end. Thus corner posts were counted only once and the total pillars was sixty. That means that the door into the courtyard was actually suspended from five pillars. Ibid., page 657.
