New Living Translation (NLT)

Exodus 38
⁸ Bezalel made the bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from bronze mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
⁹ Then Bezalel made the courtyard, which was enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side the curtains were 150 feet long.
¹⁰ They were held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.
¹¹ He made a similar set of curtains for the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.
¹² The curtains on the west end of the courtyard were 75 feet long, hung with silver hooks and rings and supported by ten posts set into ten bases.
¹³ The east end, the front, was also 75 feet long.
¹⁴ The courtyard entrance was on the east end, flanked by two curtains. The curtain on the right side was 221/2 feet long and was supported by three posts set into three bases.
¹⁵ The curtain on the left side was also 221/2 feet long and was supported by three posts set into three bases.
¹⁶ All the curtains used in the courtyard were made of finely woven linen.
¹⁷ Each post had a bronze base, and all the hooks and rings were silver. The tops of the posts of the courtyard were overlaid with silver, and the rings to hold up the curtains were made of silver.
¹⁸ He made the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard of finely woven linen, and he decorated it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. It was 30 feet long, and its height was 71/2 feet, just like the curtains of the courtyard walls.
