Making the Courtyard

⁹ Then^(A) he made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of finely spun linen, 150 feet in length,^{[a] 10} including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands^[b] of the posts were silver. ¹¹ The hangings on the north side were also 150 feet in length,^[c] including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands^[d] of the posts were silver. ¹² The hangings on the west side were 75 feet in length,^[e] including their 10 posts and 10 bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver. ¹³ The hangings on the east toward the sunrise were also 75 feet in length.^{[f] 14} The hangings on one side of the gate were 22½ feet,^[g] including their three posts and three bases. ¹⁵ It was the same for the other side. The hangings were 22½ feet,^[h] including their three posts and three bases on both sides of the courtyard gate. ¹⁶ All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely spun linen. ¹⁷ The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands^[i] of the posts were silver; and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

¹⁸ The screen for the gate of the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was 30 feet^[j] long, and like the hangings of the courtyard, 7½ feet^[k] high.^{[l] 19} It had four posts, including their four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, and the bands^[m] as well as the plating of their tops were silver. ²⁰ All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.
