And shall have twenty posts and twenty bronze bases with silver hooks and bands on the posts. The courtyard's twenty posts on the south side rest in bronze bases — consistent with the outer courtyard's bronze material. The silver hooks and bands on the posts mark the connection points between the posts and the linen curtains. Bronze bases at the bottom, silver fittings higher up: the material gradation moves from bronze at the ground level toward more precious materials as the eye rises. The visual experience of approaching the tabernacle involves a gradual revelation of increasing preciousness — the closer to the center, the more valuable the materials become.
