Exodus 38:5-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.

6. These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.

7. And he drew them through the rings, which projected from the sides of the altar. But the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, made from panels and empty inside.

8. He also made the washtub of brass, with its base made from the mirrors of the women who kept watch at the door of the tabernacle.

9. He also made the atrium, at the south side of which were hangings of fine twisted linen of one hundred cubits and

10. twenty columns of brass with their bases. The heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.

11. Equally, at the northern area, the hangings, the columns, and the bases and heads of the columns were of the same measure and work and metal.

12. Yet truly, on that side which looks out toward the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns with their bases of brass. And the heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.

13. Furthermore, toward the east, he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

14. of which, there were fifteen cubits, among three columns with their bases, holding up one side,

15. and on the other side, (for between the two he made the entrance of the tabernacle) there were equally hangings of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and the same number of bases.

16. All the hangings of the atrium were woven from fine twisted linen.

17. The bases of the columns were of brass, but their heads with all of their engravings were of silver. Now he also overlaid the columns of the atrium themselves with silver.

18. And he made, at its entrance, a hanging, wrought with embroidery, of hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, which held twenty cubits in length, yet truly it was five cubits in height, as with the measure of all the hangings of the atrium.

19. Now the columns at the entrance were four, with bases of brass, and their heads and engravings were of silver.
