Keluaran 38:9-12

The Construction of the Courtyard

38:9 He made the courtyard. For the south side ¹  the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twisted linen, one hundred fifty feet long, 38:10 with ²  their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver. 38:11 For the north side the hangings were ³  one hundred fifty feet, with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver. 38:12 For the west side there were ⁴  hangings seventy-five feet long, with ⁵  their ten posts and their ten bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.

[38:9]  ¹ tn Heb “south side southward.”

[38:10]  ² tn While this verse could be translated as an independent sentence, it is probably to be subordinated as a circumstantial clause in line with Exod 27:10-12, as well as v. 12 of this passage.

[38:11]  ³ tn Here the phrase “the hangings were” has been supplied.

[38:12]  ⁴ tn The phrase “there were” has been supplied.

[38:12]  ⁵ tn The text simply has “their posts ten and their bases ten”; this may be added here as a circumstantial clause with the main sentence in order to make sense out of the construction.
