gate
In the hangings of the court (Exo 27:9), representing that practical righteousness which God demands in the law, and which, therefore, bars out all men; (Rom 3:19); (Rom 3:20); (Rom 10:3-5). No colours are inwrought. But the "gate" is Christ (Joh 10:9) and so the colours reappear as in the veil (Exo 26:31). |
