Exodus 38:4-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. He constructed for the altar a grate of bronze mesh under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom.

5. At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.

6. Also, he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7. Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar in order to carry it with them. He constructed the altar with boards so that it was hollow.

8. He made the bronze basin and its stand from the bronze mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

9. Then he made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of finely spun linen, 150 feet in length,

10. including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

11. The hangings on the north side were also 150 feet in length, including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.
