Exodus 27:7-17

7 And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.
8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it; as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 In the same manner thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle; to the side of the Negev to the south there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of one hundred cubits long for each side;
10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the capitals of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
11 And likewise for the side of the Aquilon in length there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty sockets of brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
13 And the breadth of the court on the side of the rising sun to the east shall be fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 And at the gate of the court there shall be a hanging of twenty cubits of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework; and their pillars shall be four and their sockets four.
17 All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their capitals shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.
