Exodus 38:3-13 Good News Bible (GNB)

3. He also made all the equipment for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the bowls, the hooks, and the firepans. All this equipment was made of bronze.

4. He made a bronze grating and put it under the rim of the altar, so that it reached halfway up the altar.

5. He made four carrying rings and put them on the four corners.

6. He made carrying poles of acacia wood, covered them with bronze,

7. and put them in the rings on each side of the altar. The altar was made of boards and was hollow.

8. He made the bronze basin and its bronze base out of the mirrors belonging to the women who served at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence.

9. For the Tent of the Lord's presence he made the enclosure out of fine linen curtains. On the south side the curtains were 44 metres long,

10. supported by twenty bronze posts in twenty bronze bases, with hooks and rods made of silver.

11. The enclosure was the same on the north side.

12. On the west side there were curtains 22 metres long, with ten posts and ten bases and with hooks and rods made of silver.

13. On the east side, where the entrance was, the enclosure was also 22 metres wide.
