5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating to take the shafts.	5 casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.
6 He made the shafts of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.	6 These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.
7 He passed the shafts through the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altarhollow, out of boards.	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 made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at theentrance to the Tent of Meeting.	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 made the court. On the south side, on the south, the curtaining of the court was of finely wovenlinen a hundred cubits long.	9 He also made the atrium, at the south side of which were hangings of fine twisted linen of one hundred cubits and
