Context of Exodus 38:17

15Similarly for the other side, on either side of the gate of the courtyard were hangings of 15 cubits, with their three pillars and three bases. 16All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of finely twisted linen. The bases for the pillars were bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver, the overlaying of their capitals were silver, and all the pillars of the courtyard were ringed with silver. 18The curtain for the gate of the courtyard was the work of a color weaver, of blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen. It was 20 cubits long and five cubits high, like the hangings of the courtyard. 19Their four pillars and four bases were bronze. Their hooks along with the overlaying of their capitals and their bands were silver.
