Exodus 27:9-17

9Make a yard around the tent of the tabernacle. The south side must be 45 metres long. It will have curtains that are made of good linen.

10Make 20 poles and 20 bronze bases to hold the poles. Use silver to make hooks and sticks to hold the curtains.

11The north side of the yard must also be 45 metres long. It will also have 20 poles with their bronze bases, as well as their silver hooks and sticks.

12The west end of the yard must be 23 metres long. Make curtains for it, with ten poles and their bronze bases.

13The entrance to the yard is at its east end. That end must also be 23 metres long.

14There will be 7 metres of curtain on each side of the entrance. There will be three poles with their bases to hold the curtains on each side.

16Make a curtain 9 metres wide for the entrance to the yard. Make it out of blue, purple and red material, as well as good linen. Choose a worker who can use special skills to make the curtain look beautiful. Make four poles and their bases to hold the curtain at the entrance.

17All the poles around the yard must have bronze bases. They will also have silver hooks and sticks to hold the curtains.
