שמות, פרק ל״ט, פסוק מ׳

The final inventory of the Tabernacle brings the detailed construction of the courtyard to a close, moving from the large fabric hangings that form its perimeter to the smaller accessories that keep the structure secure. Both the ropes and the pegs function specifically to support and stabilize the courtyard [חזקוני, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Furthermore, the broader inventory of the working tools encompasses the pegs used for both the main Tabernacle tent and the surrounding courtyard. This general category also accounts for the carrying poles of the table and the inner incense altar [העמק דבר].

Beyond their practical function as physical supports for the heavy fabric, the pillars of the courtyard carry a profound spiritual weight. These posts are not merely technical elements of a temporary structure. Rather, they represent the foundational pillars of the universe itself. The physical existence of the Tabernacle and the upright posture of its pillars are what allow the entire world to stand firm and endure [קיצור בעל הטורים].
