⁹ “You^(A) are to make the courtyard for the tabernacle. Make hangings for the south side of the courtyard out of finely spun linen, 150 feet^[a] long on that side ¹⁰ including twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and silver bands^[b] for the posts. ¹¹ And so make hangings 150 feet long for the north side, including twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and silver bands for the posts. ¹² For the width of the courtyard, make hangings 75 feet^[c] long for the west side, including their ten posts and their ten bases. ¹³ And for the width of the courtyard on the east side toward the sunrise, 75 feet, ¹⁴ make hangings 22½ feet^[d] long for one side of the gate, including their three posts and their three bases. ¹⁵ And make hangings 22½ feet long for the other side, including their three posts and their three bases. ¹⁶ The gate of the courtyard is to have a 30-foot^[e] screen^(B) embroidered^[f] with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It is to have four posts and their four bases.

¹⁷ “All the posts around the courtyard are to be banded with silver and have silver hooks and bronze bases. ¹⁸ The courtyard is to be 150 feet long, 75 feet wide at each end, and 7½ feet high,^[g] all of it made of finely spun linen. The bases of the posts are to be bronze. ¹⁹ All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use and all its tent pegs as well as all the tent pegs of the courtyard are to be made of bronze.

¹⁷ the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and bases, and the screen for the gate of the courtyard; ¹⁸ the tent pegs for the tabernacle and the tent pegs for the courtyard, along with their ropes;

Making the Courtyard

⁹ Then^(A) he made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of finely spun linen, 150 feet^[a] long, ¹⁰ including their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and silver bands^[b] for the posts. ¹¹ The hangings on the north side were also 150 feet long, including their twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver. ¹² The hangings on the west side were 75 feet^[c] long, including their ten posts and their ten bases, with silver hooks and silver bands for the posts. ¹³ And for the east side toward the sunrise, 75 feet long, ¹⁴ the hangings on one side of the gate were 22½ feet,^[d] including their three posts and their three bases. ¹⁵ It was the same for the other side of the courtyard gate. The hangings were 22½ feet, including their three posts and their three bases. ¹⁶ All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely spun linen. ¹⁷ The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands of the posts were silver; and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

¹⁸ The screen for the gate of the courtyard was made of finely spun linen, expertly embroidered^[e] with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. It was 30 feet^[f] long, and like the hangings of the courtyard, 7½ feet^[g] high.^{[h] 19} It had four posts with their four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, and their top plating and their bands were silver. ²⁰ All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

Inventory of Materials

²¹ This is the inventory for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony,^(B) that was recorded at Moses’s command. It was the work of the Levites under the direction of^[i] Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.^{(C) 22} Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord commanded Moses. ²³ With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a gem cutter, a designer, and an embroiderer with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

²⁴ All the gold of the presentation offering that was used for the project in all the work on the sanctuary, was 2,193 pounds,^[j] according to the sanctuary shekel.^{(D) 25} The silver from those of the community who were registered was 7,544 pounds,^[k] according to the sanctuary shekel— ²⁶ one-fifth of an ounce^[l] per man, that is, half a shekel according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone twenty years old or more who had crossed over to the registered group, 603,550 men. ²⁷ There were 7,500 pounds^[m] of silver used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the curtain—one hundred bases from 7,500 pounds, 75 pounds^[n] for each base.^{(E) 28} With the remaining 44 pounds^[o] he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and supplied bands for them.

²⁹ The bronze of the presentation offering totaled 5,310 pounds.^{[p] 30} He made with it the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grate, all the utensils for the altar, ³¹ the bases for the surrounding courtyard, the bases for the gate of the courtyard, all the tent pegs for the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the surrounding courtyard.
