⁹“You will make the courtyard of the tabernacle; for the south^c side will be hangings for the courtyard of finely twisted linen, one hundred cubits long for the one side. ¹⁰And its twenty pillars and their twenty bases will be bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands will be silver. ¹¹And likewise for the north side along the length will be hangings one hundred cubits long; and its twenty pillars and their bases will be bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands will be silver. ¹²And the width of the courtyard for the west^d side will be hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars and their ten bases. ¹³And the width of the courtyard for the east side, toward sunrise, will be fifty cubits. ¹⁴And hangings for the shoulder^e will be fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three bases. ¹⁵And fifteen cubits of hangings will be for the second shoulder^f with their three pillars and their three bases. ¹⁶And for the gate of the courtyard there will be a screen of twenty cubits of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer; with their four pillars and their four bases.

¹⁷“All the pillars of the courtyard all around will be banded with silver, and their hooks will be silver, and their bases will be bronze. ¹⁸The length of the courtyard will be one hundred cubits and the width fifty cubits^g and the height five cubits, of finely twisted linen, with their bronze bases.
