Evangelical Heritage Version

The Courtyard

⁹ He made the courtyard. For the south side of the courtyard he made hangings of fine woven linen, one hundred fifty feet long for that side. ¹⁰ He made twenty posts for it and twenty bronze socket bases for them. The hooks for the posts and the connectors were silver.^{[a] 11} In the same way, for the north side there were hangings one hundred fifty feet long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze socket bases. The hooks for the posts and their connectors were silver. ¹² For the courtyard on the west side there were hangings seventy-five feet wide, with ten posts and ten socket bases. ¹³ The width of the court on the east side was seventy-five feet. ¹⁴ The hangings on one side of the entry gate were twenty-two feet six inches wide with three posts and three socket bases. ¹⁵ For the other side there were hangings twenty-two feet six inches wide with three posts and three socket bases. ¹⁶ All the hangings around the court were of fine woven linen. ¹⁷ The socket bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks of the posts and their connectors were silver, and the overlay of the capitals on top of the posts was silver, and all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

¹⁸ There was a screen for the entry gate of the courtyard, made of blue, purple, and scarlet material and of fine woven linen, the work of an embroiderer. It was thirty feet wide, and like the hangings of the courtyard it was seven and a half feet high. ¹⁹ It had four posts and four bronze socket bases. The hooks of the posts and their connectors were silver, and the overlay of the capitals on top of the posts was silver. ²⁰ All the tent stakes for the Dwelling and all the stakes for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.
