וְעָשִׂ֕יתָ אֵ֖ת חֲצַ֣ר הַמִּשְׁכָּ֑ן לִפְאַ֣ת נֶֽגֶב־תֵּ֠ימָנָה קְלָעִ֨ים לֶחָצֵ֜ר שֵׁ֣שׁ מָשְׁזָ֗ר מֵאָ֤ה בָֽאַמָּה֙ אֹ֔רֶךְ לַפֵּאָ֖ה הָאֶחָֽת׃

You shall make the courtyard of the Tabernacle: On the south side there shall be hangings for the courtyard, the main function of which was to conceal the courtyard from view. The hangings shall be made of spun linen strings. According to tradition, each string was comprised of six thin, entwined threads. The hangings shall be one hundred cubits long for the one side.

וְעַמֻּדָ֣יו עֶשְׂרִ֔ים וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֥ם עֶשְׂרִ֖ים נְחֹ֑שֶׁת וָוֵ֧י הָעַמֻּדִ֛ים וַחֲשֻׁקֵיהֶ֖ם כָּֽסֶף׃

Its pillars, of the courtyard, shall be twenty in number. The hangings were draped over twenty pillars, with a gap of five cubits between each pillar. And their, the pillars’, sockets for holding them in place shall also be twenty in number. The sockets themselves shall be made of bronze, unlike the silver sockets inside the Tabernacle (see 26:19). However, the hooks of the pillars, for the hangings, and their bands, the hoops which surrounded the pillars for decoration or to prevent them from cracking, shall be of silver.

וְכֵ֨ן לִפְאַ֤ת צָפוֹן֙ בָּאֹ֔רֶךְ קְלָעִ֖ים מֵ֣אָה אֹ֑רֶךְ ועמדו [וְעַמּוּדָ֣יו] עֶשְׂרִ֗ים וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֤ם עֶשְׂרִים֙ נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וָוֵ֧י הָֽעַמֻּדִ֛ים וַחֲשֻׁקֵיהֶ֖ם כָּֽסֶף׃

Likewise, on the north side, in length, there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, their pillars twenty in number and their sockets twenty in number, of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver.

וְרֹ֤חַב הֶֽחָצֵר֙ לִפְאַת־יָ֔ם קְלָעִ֖ים חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אַמָּ֑ה עַמֻּדֵיהֶ֣ם עֲשָׂרָ֔ה וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם עֲשָׂרָֽה׃

The width of the courtyard on the west side shall be enclosed by hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten in number and their sockets ten in number, by the same ratio.

וְרֹ֣חַב הֶֽחָצֵ֗ר לִפְאַ֛ת קֵ֥דְמָה מִזְרָ֖חָה חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אַמָּֽה׃

The width of the courtyard on the east side shall also be fifty cubits.

וַחֲמֵ֨שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֥ה אַמָּ֛ה קְלָעִ֖ים לַכָּתֵ֑ף עַמֻּדֵיהֶ֣ם שְׁלֹשָׁ֔ה וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם שְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃

Since the gate is located on the east side of the courtyard, only fifteen cubits of hangings shall be allocated for the one side of the entrance, their pillars three in number and their sockets three in number,

וְלַכָּתֵף֙ הַשֵּׁנִ֔ית חְמֵ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה קְלָעִ֑ים עַמֻּדֵיהֶ֣ם שְׁלֹשָׁ֔ה וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם שְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃

and on the second side of the entrance shall also be fifteen cubits’ length of hangings, their pillars three in number and their sockets three in number.

וּלְשַׁ֨עַר הֶֽחָצֵ֜ר מָסָ֣ךְ ׀ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים אַמָּ֗ה תְּכֵ֨לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֜ן וְתוֹלַ֧עַת שָׁנִ֛י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מָשְׁזָ֖ר מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה רֹקֵ֑ם עַמֻּֽדֵיהֶם֙ אַרְבָּעָ֔ה וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם אַרְבָּעָֽה׃

In the middle, for the gate of the courtyard, there shall be a magnificent screen of twenty cubits, made of sky-blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and linen, all of which shall be spun together, all the work of an embroiderer. Their pillars, which hold the screen, shall be four in number, and their sockets shall be four in number. There was no heavy gate at the entrance to the courtyard, but merely a decorative screen, which was turned aside or rolled up to allow entry.

כָּל־עַמּוּדֵ֨י הֶֽחָצֵ֤ר סָבִיב֙ מְחֻשָּׁקִ֣ים כֶּ֔סֶף וָוֵיהֶ֖ם כָּ֑סֶף וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

All the pillars of the courtyard all around shall be banded with loops of silver. Their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets shall be of bronze.

אֹ֣רֶךְ הֶֽחָצֵר֩ מֵאָ֨ה בָֽאַמָּ֜ה וְרֹ֣חַב ׀ חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים בַּחֲמִשִּׁ֗ים וְקֹמָ֛ה חָמֵ֥שׁ אַמּ֖וֹת שֵׁ֣שׁ מָשְׁזָ֑ר וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

The length of the courtyard shall be one hundred cubits, and the width shall be fifty on each side, a rectangle. And the height of the hangings of the courtyard shall be five cubits, and they shall be of spun linen, and their sockets shall be of bronze.

לְכֹל֙ כְּלֵ֣י הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן בְּכֹ֖ל עֲבֹדָת֑וֹ וְכָל־יְתֵדֹתָ֛יו וְכָל־יִתְדֹ֥ת הֶחָצֵ֖ר נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃ (ס)

All the vessels of the Tabernacle, for all its craftsmanship, all the instruments required for its preparation, its assembly and dismantling, and its upkeep; and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, which were required for holding the Tabernacle in place to prevent the sheets and hangings from blowing over in heavy winds, shall be bronze.
