Context of Exodus 38:9

7He 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. Bezalel 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. 10He made 20 poles and 20 bronze bases to hold the poles. He used silver to make hooks and sticks to hold the curtains. 11The north side of the yard was also 45 metres long. It also had 20 poles and their bronze bases, as well as their silver hooks and sticks.
