Exodus 38:9-20
New International Version
The Courtyard(A)
9 Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits[a] long and had 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 was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
12 The west end was fifty cubits[b] wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 13 The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. 14 Curtains fifteen cubits[c] long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. 16 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.
18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits[d] long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits[e] high, 19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. 20 All the tent pegs(B) of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

The Court of the Tent
9 Then he made the court. On the south[a] side the hangings for the court were made of fine woven linen, 100 cubits[b] long.[c] 10 He made their 20 pillars[d] and their 20 sockets of bronze, while the hooks of the pillars and their bands[e] were made of silver. 11 The north side was 100 cubits[f] long,[g] and its[h] 20 pillars[i] and 20 sockets were made of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their bands[j] were made of silver. 12 For the west side there were hangings 50 cubits[k] long with their ten pillars and ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver. 13 The east side[l] was 50 cubits[m] long.[n] 14 The hangings for one section[o] were fifteen cubits[p] long, with their three pillars and three sockets, 15 and also for the second section. On either side of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits[q] long with their three pillars and three sockets. 16 All the hangings around the court were made of fine woven linen. 17 The sockets for the pillars were made of bronze and the hooks of the pillars and their bands[r] were made of silver. Their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the pillars of the court were banded with silver. 18 The screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. The length was 20 cubits[s] and it was five cubits[t] high along its width, corresponding to the hangings of the court. 19 Their four pillars and their four sockets were made of bronze, and their hooks were made of silver. Their tops were overlaid with silver and their bands were made of silver. 20 All the pegs for the tent and for all around the court were made of bronze.
