[i]On both sides of the gate of the courtyard were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of fine twisted linen. 17 And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their [j]bands, of silver; and the overlaying of their tops, of silver, and all the pillars of the courtyard were furnished with silver [k]bands. 18 Now the curtain of the gate of the courtyard was the work of the [l]weaver, of [m]violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. And the length was twenty cubits and the [n]height was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard. 19 Their four pillars and their four bases were of bronze; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their [o]bands were of silver. 20 All the pegs of the [p]tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were of bronze.
