The Courtyard^(A)

⁹ “Make a courtyard^(B) for the tabernacle. The south side shall be a hundred cubits^[a] long and is to have curtains of finely twisted linen, ¹⁰ with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. ¹¹ The north side shall also be a hundred cubits long and is to have curtains, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

¹² “The west end of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits^[b] wide and have curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. ¹³ On the east end, toward the sunrise, the courtyard shall also be fifty cubits wide. ¹⁴ Curtains fifteen cubits^[c] long are to be on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, ¹⁵ and curtains fifteen cubits long are to be on the other side, with three posts and three bases.

¹⁶ “For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain^(C) twenty cubits^[d] long, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer^(D)—with four posts and four bases. ¹⁷ All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands and hooks, and bronze bases. ¹⁸ The courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,^[e] with curtains of finely twisted linen five cubits^[f] high, and with bronze bases. ¹⁹ All the other articles used in the service of the tabernacle, whatever their function, including all the tent pegs for it and those for the courtyard, are to be of bronze.

³⁶ And he built the inner courtyard^(A) of three courses^(B) of dressed stone and one course of trimmed cedar beams.

³³ Then Moses set up the courtyard^(A) around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain^(B) at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.
