Exodus 27:7-17

7 And the staffs shall be put into the rings, and the staffs shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.
8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shown thee on the mount, so shall they make [it].
9 And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward [there shall be] hangings for the court [of] fine twined linen of a hundred cubits long for one side:
10 And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [shall be of] brass: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [shall be of] silver.
11 And likewise for the north side in length [there shall be] hangings of a hundred [cubits] long, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [of] brass: the hooks 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 east side eastward [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, fifteen [cubits]: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 And for the gate of the court [shall be] a hanging of twenty cubits, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needle-work: [and] their pillars [shall be] four, and their sockets four.
17 All the pillars around the court [shall be] filleted with silver: their hooks [shall be of] silver, and their sockets [of] brass.
