Context of Exodus 38:7

5He used bronze to make four rings. He fixed them to the four corners of the net. The poles would go through these rings. 6He used acacia wood to make the poles. He covered them with bronze. He put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar, to carry it. He used boards to make the altar so that it was empty inside. 8He used bronze to make a large bowl for water, and a base for it to stand on. He used the bronze from small mirrors to make these things. The mirrors had belonged to women who worked at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. 9Bezalel made the yard around the tent. The south side of the yard was 45 metres long. It had curtains that were made from good linen.
