And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and his twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
And in the same way, for the north side there should be curtains that are 150 feet long, with twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases to hold them up. The hooks on the pillars and their connecting rods should be made of silver.
This verse continues God's detailed instructions for building the courtyard around the tabernacle, specifying the exact measurements and materials for the north side.
