The inner court: 
The inner court (being the holy place, also called the sanctuary), was the part of the Tabernacle where the menorah (the seven branch lamp stand), the show bread table with the twelve loaves of bread and the altar of incense were located as in Hebrews 9:2.

In the holy place (inner court) of the the tabernacle, the priest who served in the tabernacle received their light from the Menorah (seven branch lamp stand). Because of the animal skin which were used to cover the whole tabernacle, in the inside of the tabernacle, there was a very thick darkness which could not allow the priests to see what they were doing with out light.

In Leviticus 24:1-3 God commanded the children of Israel through Moses to bring pure pressed olive oil, for the priest to use in the lighting of the menorah (seven branch lamp stand), so that the priest may be able to see what they were doing as they were serving on behalf of the congregation of Israel in the Tabernacle of God.

The word oil also means “soul or the Ten, tithe attributes of a human soul” in Hebrew. In within every human soul there are seven emotions. The second part of the tabernacle (inner court or holy place) was the level of relationship between God and israel, which enabled the people’s emotions (feelings, desires, motives, ideas passion, intimacy etc) to be connected to God’s calendar with the twelve months, God’s leadership with the twelve tribes (twelve apostles) and God’s government which is made up of the systems.
