^9aThen he made the court: ¹for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twisted linen, ²one hundred cubits;

¹⁰their twenty pillars, and their twenty bases, made of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their ¹bands were of silver.

¹²For the west side there were hangings of ¹fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

¹³For the east side toward the sunrise fifty cubits.

¹⁴The hangings for the one ¹side of the gate were ²fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases,

¹⁵and so for the ¹other ²side. ³On both sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.

¹⁶All the hangings of the court all around were of fine twisted linen.

¹⁷The bases for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver; and the overlaying of their tops were of silver, and all the pillars of the court were furnished with silver bands.

¹⁸The screen of the gate of the court was the work of the ¹weaver, of ²blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. And the length was ³twenty cubits and the ⁴height was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

¹⁹Their four pillars and their four bases were of bronze; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver.

²⁰All the pegs of the ¹tabernacle and of the court all around were of bronze.

The Things Numbered for the Tabernacle

²¹These are the things numbered for the ¹tabernacle, the ²tabernacle of the testimony, as they were ³numbered according to the ⁴command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

²²Now ^aBezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

²³With him was ^aOholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and a skillful designer and a ¹weaver in ²blue and in purple and in scarlet material and fine linen.

²⁴All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was ¹29 talents and ²730 shekels, according to ^athe shekel of the sanctuary.

^25aThe silver of those of the congregation who were ¹numbered was ²100 talents and ³1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;

^26aa beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for each one who passed over to those who were ¹numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for ^b603,550 men.

²⁷One hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; one hundred bases for one hundred talents, a talent for a base.

²⁸Of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their tops and made bands for them.

²⁹The bronze of the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.

³⁰With it he made the bases to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar,

³¹and the bases of the court all around and the bases of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the ¹tabernacle and all the pegs of the court all around.
