9 Also thou shalt make a large porch of the tabernacle, in the manner of a churchyard, in whose midday coast against the south shall be curtains of bis folded again; one side shall hold an hundred cubits in length,
10 and twenty pillars, with so many brazen bases27:10 In the original text, throughout the rest of Exodus, ‘foundament/s’ and ‘base/s’ are used interchangeably in reference to the pillars. To avoid confusion, only ‘base/s’ will be used in this context., which pillars shall have silver hooks, and the holdings of those27:10 From the gloss for verse 38:10..
11 In like manner in the north side, by the length, shall be curtains of an hundred cubits, twenty pillars, and brazen bases of the same number; and the hooks of the pillars, and the holdings of those, shall be of silver.
12 Forsooth in the breadth of the large porch, that beholdeth to the west, shall be curtains by fifty cubits, and ten pillars shall be, and as many bases.
13 In that breadth of the large porch, that beholdeth to the east, shall be fifty cubits,
14 in which the curtains of fifteen cubits shall be assigned to one side, and three pillars, and so many bases;
15 and in the other side shall be curtains holding fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and so many bases.
16 Forsooth in the large entry of the porch shall be made a curtain of twenty cubits, of jacinth, and purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, and of bis folded again, by embroidery work; it shall have four pillars, with so many bases.
17 All the pillars of the great porch by compass shall be clothed with plates of silver, with hooks of silver, and with bases of brass.
18 The great porch shall occupy an hundred cubits in length, fifty in breadth; the height of the curtains shall be of five cubits; and it shall be made of bis folded again; and it shall have brazen bases.
