38:17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver, their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands. 1 38:18 The curtain 2 for the gate of the courtyard was of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer. It was thirty feet long, and like the hangings in the courtyard, it was seven and a half feet high,
38:19 with four posts and their four bronze bases. Their hooks and their bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver.
38:20 All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were bronze.
1 tnHeb “they were banded with silver.”
2 tn This word is different from the word for hangings; it has more of the idea of a screen, shielding or securing the area.
