Discovery BoxExodus 38:9-12 
Context38:9 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.
1 tn Heb “south side southward.”
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.
3 tn Here the phrase “the hangings were” has been supplied.
4 tn The phrase “there were” has been supplied.
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.
