Context of Exodus 38:20

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. All the pegs of the Tabernacle and the courtyard all around were bronze. 21These are the accounts of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were recorded according to the commandment of Moses, by the service of the Levites, under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the kohen. 22Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur of the tribe of Judah made all that Adonai commanded Moses.
