The hangings of the court were “the curtains for the enclosure” (Good News Translation) that marked off the open “courtyard” around the tent. The same words are used in 27.9. (See the comment there.) Its pillars and its bases refers to the “posts” (Good News Translation) to which the hangings were fastened and the bronze “sockets” on which these “posts” were placed. These are described in 27.9-15. And the screen for the gate of the court is discussed at 27.16.
The pegs of the tabernacle … of the court were the bronze “Tent pegs” (Good News Translation) mentioned in 27.19. (See the comment there.) And their cords were the “ropes” that were tied to the pegs.
