The Courtyard. ⁹ “You shall make a courtyard^[a] for the tabernacle. On the south side there shall be a drape of fine twisted linen, one hundred cubits long, to form the first side. ¹⁰ There are to be twenty columns with twenty bronze bases. The hooks of the pillars and their rings are to be made of silver.

¹¹ “Likewise on the north side, there must be a drape one hundred cubits long, its twenty pillars with their twenty bronze bases. The hooks of the pillars and their rings are to be made of silver. ¹² Along the width of the courtyard on the west side there shall be fifty cubits of drapes with ten columns and ten bases. ¹³ The width of the courtyard on the east side shall be fifty cubits. ¹⁴ On one side there are to be fifteen cubits of drapes with three columns and three bases, ¹⁵ and on the other side there are to be fifteen cubits of drapes with three columns and three bases.

¹⁶ “For the gate of the courtyard there shall be a curtain twenty cubits long, made of blue and purple and scarlet cloth and fine twisted linen with four columns and their four bases. ¹⁷ All the columns around the courtyard are to be filleted with silver. Their hooks shall be made of silver and their bases of bronze. ¹⁸ The length of the courtyard must be one hundred cubits, the width fifty, and the height five cubits, made of fine twisted linen with the bases made of bronze. ¹⁹ All the utensils of the tabernacle for whatever use and all the pegs of the courtyard are to be made of bronze.
