The word קְלָעִים (ke.la.'Im) refers to curtains or hangings, specifically those used in the tabernacle. It is a masculine plural noun derived from the root word for 'to be thrown', indicating items that can be slung or hung.

How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the subject וְרֹ֤חַב, and the breadth, which leads into several noun phrases detailing the courtyard's width, the number of posts, and their bases. The structure emphasizes the measurements and quantities, reflecting the importance of precise specifications in the construction process.
The Hebrew word order places the emphasis on the dimensions first, followed by the details about the posts and bases, which indicates the priority of the courtyard's width in the overall design.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates קְלָעִ֖ים as ἱστία, meaning 'sails' or 'sheets'. This choice may suggest a broader interpretation of the curtains as not just functional barriers but also as elements that could symbolize protection or covering.
This translation choice indicates a potential shift in understanding the role of the curtains in the tabernacle, moving from a strict physical description to a more metaphorical representation.

Such enclosures were particularly affected by the Egyptians, and were usually oblong squares, surrounded by walls, with, for the most part, a single entrance. An open space of this kind, always desirable, was absolutely necessary where the sanctuary itself was covered in, since it would have been intolerable to kill and burn victims in a confined and covered space. The altar which has been described (Exodus 27:1-8) was necessarily placed outside the tabernacle, and formed the chief furniture of…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches all words. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs in three words: it uses ימה for 'west', עמודיהם for 'pillars', and נחשׁת for 'bronze'. The Dead Sea Scrolls show some variations, with certain words being partly restored or supplied by an editor, but generally align with the Masoretic Text.
וְרֹ֤חַב הֶֽחָצֵר֙ לִפְאַת־ יָ֔ם קְלָעִ֖ים חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים אַמָּ֑ה עַמֻּדֵיהֶ֣ם עֲשָׂרָ֔ה וְאַדְנֵיהֶ֖ם עֲשָׂרָֽה׃

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
