2He made horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar were all one piece. He overlaid the altar with bronze.2He made horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

4Next he made a bronze grating and installed it halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge.4He made a lattice, a netting of bronze, for the altar. It was under its ledge, extending halfway up.
5He cast four rings and attached them to the corners of the bronze grating to hold the carrying poles.5He cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze lattice as holders for the poles.

9Then Bezalel made the courtyard, which was enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side the curtains were 150 feet long.9Then he made the court. On the south side the hangings for the court were made of fine woven linen, 100 cubits long.
10They were held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.10He made their 20 pillars and their 20 sockets of bronze, while the hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver.

He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.11The north side was 100 cubits long, and its 20 pillars and 20 sockets were made of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver.

18He 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 7 1/2 feet, just like the curtains of the courtyard walls.18The screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. The length was 20 cubits and it was five cubits high along its width, corresponding to the hangings of the court.
