9“Then make the courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side, make the curtains 150 feet long.*27:9 Hebrew 100 cubits [46 meters]; also in 27:11.
16“For the entrance to the courtyard, make a curtain that is 30 feet long.*27:16 Hebrew 20 cubits [9.2 meters]. Make it from finely woven linen, and decorate it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. Support it with four posts, each securely set in its own base.
