New Century Version

Exodus 38:4-11 New Century Version (NCV)

4. He made a large bronze screen to hold the burning wood for the altar and put it inside the altar, under its rim, halfway up from the bottom.

5. He made bronze rings to hold the poles for carrying the altar, and he put them at the four corners of the screen.

6. Then he made poles of acacia wood and covered them with bronze.

7. He put the poles through the rings on both sides of the altar, to carry it. He made the altar of boards and left the inside hollow.

8. He made the bronze bowl for washing, and he built it on a bronze stand. He used the bronze from mirrors that belonged to the women who served at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

9. Then he made a wall of curtains to form a courtyard around the Holy Tent. On the south side the curtains were one hundred fifty feet long and were made of fine linen.

10. The curtains hung on silver hooks and bands, placed on twenty bronze posts with twenty bronze bases.

11. On the north side the wall of curtains was also one hundred fifty feet long, and it hung on silver hooks and bands on twenty posts with twenty bronze bases.
