John Gill Bible Commentary

And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits long,.... The north and south sides of this court being equal, the same length of hangings were for the one as the other: and his twenty pillars, and their twenty sockets of brass; there went on this side the same number of pillars and sockets, and of the same metal: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; just as they were on the south side.
