17 `The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court,
`And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit `is' the length for the one side, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets `are' of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets `are' of silver; and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred `cubits' in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets `are' of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets `are' of silver. `And `for' the breadth of the court at the west side `are' hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. And `for' the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, `are' fifty cubits. And the hangings at the side `are' fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three. And at the second side `are' hangings fifteen `cubits', their pillars three, and their sockets three. `And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four. All the pillars of the court round about `are' filleted `with' silver, their pegs `are' silver, and their sockets brass. `The length of the court `is' a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets `are' brass, even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, `are' brass.
And he maketh the court; at the south side southward, the hangings of the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit, their pillars `are' twenty, and their brazen sockets twenty, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets `are' silver; and at the north side, a hundred by the cubit, their pillars `are' twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the pegs of the pillars and their fillets `are' silver; and at the west side `are' hangings, fifty by the cubit; their pillars `are' ten, and their sockets ten; the pegs of the pillars and their fillets `are' silver; and at the east side eastward fifty cubits. The hangings on the side `are' fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three, and at the second side at the gate of the court, on this and on that, `are' hangings, fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three; all the hangings of the court round about `are' of twined linen, and the sockets for the pillars of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and the overlaying of their tops of silver, and all the pillars of the court are filleted with silver. And the covering of the gate of the court `is' the work of an embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen; and twenty cubits `is' the length, and the height with the breadth five cubits, over-against the hangings of the court; and their pillars `are' four, and their sockets of brass four, their pegs `are' of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their fillets `are' of silver; and all the pins for the tabernacle, and for the court round about, `are' of brass.
