Exodus 38:9-20

9He made the courtyard. For the south side the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twisted linen, one hundred fifty feet long,

10with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.

11For the north side the hangings were one hundred fifty feet, with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.

12For the west side there were hangings seventy-five feet long, with their ten posts and their ten bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.

13For the east side, toward the sunrise, it was seventy-five feet wide,

14with hangings on one side of the gate that were twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three posts and their three bases,

15and for the second side of the gate of the courtyard, just like the other, the hangings were twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three posts and their three bases.

16All the hangings around the courtyard were of fine twisted linen.

17The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver, their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18The curtain for the gate of the courtyard was of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer. It was thirty feet long, and like the hangings in the courtyard, it was seven and a half feet high,

19with four posts and their four bronze bases. Their hooks and their bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver.

20All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were bronze.
