For the south side4 the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twisted linen, one hundred fifty feet long, 38:10with5 their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver. 38:11For the north side the hangings were6 one hundred fifty feet, with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver. 38:12For the west side there were7 hangings seventy-five feet long, with8 their ten posts and their ten bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver. 38:13For the east side, toward the sunrise, it was seventy-five feet wide,938:14with hangings on one side10 of the gate that were twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three posts and their three bases, 38:15and for the second side of the gate of the courtyard, just like the other,11 the hangings were twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three posts and their three bases. 38:16All the hangings around the courtyard were of fine twisted linen. 38:17The bases for the posts were bronze.

Footnotes
- 4 Heb “south side southward.”
- 5 While this verse could be translated as an independent sentence, it is probably to be subordinated as a circumstantial clause in line with Exod 27:10–12, as well as v. 12 of this passage.
- 6 Here the phrase “the hangings were” has been supplied.
- 7 The phrase “there were” has been supplied.
- 8 The text simply has “their posts ten and their bases ten”; this may be added here as a circumstantial clause with the main sentence in order to make sense out of the construction.
- 9 The text simply says “seventy-five feet.”
- 10 The word literally means “shoulder.” The next words, “of the gate,” have been supplied here. The east end contained the courtyard’s entry with a wall of curtains on each side of the entry (see v. 15).
- 11 Heb “from this and from this” (cf, 17:12; 25:19; 26:13; 32:15; Josh 8:22, 33; 1 Kgs 10:19–20; Ezek 45:7).
- 12 Heb “they were banded with silver.”
