18. The screen for the entrance to the courtyard was made of violet, purple, and bright red yarn embroidered on ⌊fabric made from⌋ fine linen yarn. It was 30 feet long and 7½ feet high, just like the curtains of the courtyard.

19. It was hung on four posts ⌊set in⌋ four bronze bases. The hooks and bands on the posts were made of silver. The tops of the posts were covered with silver.

20. All the pegs for the tent and the surrounding courtyard were made of bronze.

22. Now Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord had commanded Moses.

23. He was a jeweler, carpenter, designer, and he knew how to embroider violet, purple, and bright red yarn on fine linen. His assistant was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan.
