Making the Court of the Tabernacle(A)

He made the courtyard: On the south side southward the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twisted linen, one hundred cubits;[a] 10 their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. 11 For the north side the hangings were one hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty sockets were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

12 For the west side the hangings were fifty cubits[b] with their ten pillars and their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. 13 For the east side eastward, fifty cubits. 14 The hangings of one side of the gate were fifteen cubits[c] with their three pillars and their three sockets, 15 and also for the other side of the court gate. On both sides of the gate of the courtyard the hangings were fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three sockets. 16 All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of fine twisted linen. 17 The sockets for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops of silver, and all the pillars of the courtyard were furnished with silver bands.

18 The screen for the gate of the courtyard was embroidered of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen. Its length was twenty cubits,[d] and its height was five cubits,[e] corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard. 19 Their four pillars and their four sockets were of bronze. Their hooks and their bands were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver. 20 All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were bronze.
