It was 30 feet long and 7½ feet high, just like the curtains of the courtyard. It was hung on four posts ⌞set in⌟ four bronze bases. The hooks and bands on the posts were made of silver. The tops of the posts were covered with silver. 20All the pegs for the tent and the surrounding courtyard were made of bronze. 21This is the amount of material that was used for the tent (the tent of the words of God’s promise). An inventory was ordered by Moses and carried out by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, son of the priest Aaron.
