9762. 'And hangings [of] fifteen [cubits] for the [other] wing, their pillars three, and the bases of these, three' means the same things as above but where truths dwell in obscurity; for they are the same words as those which have been explained immediately above, except that by 'the hangings' of this wing truths dwelling in obscurity are meant, see just above in 9760.

9760. 'And hangings of fifteen cubits shall there be for [one] wing' means the sufficient quantity of truths dwelling in light. This is clear from the meaning of 'fifteen' as a sufficient amount; from the meaning of 'the hangings' as truths, dealt with above in 9743; and from the meaning of 'wing' as the place where truths dwell in light. The reason why [this] wing has this meaning is that 'wing' describes one part of the breadth of the court on the east side. For the breadth of the court was fifty cubits, in the middle of which was the gate with a screen twenty cubits wide, verse 16. The two parts, one to the right of the gate and the other to the left, are called wings, the hangings for each being fifteen cubits, so that the full breadth, as stated, was fifty cubits. It is evident therefore that one wing extended towards the south, but the other towards the north, so that by 'the hangings' of the wing extending towards the south truths dwelling in light are meant ('the south' being where truth dwells in light, 9642), and by 'the hangings' of the wing extending towards the north, which the next verse refers to, truths dwelling in obscurity are meant ('the north' being where truth dwells in obscurity, 3708).
