Then they made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit. The outer tent's clasps are bronze — the material of the courtyard level — rather than the gold of the inner curtains' clasps. The material gradation from gold inside to bronze outside is maintained even in the connecting mechanisms. The unit — echad — achieved through bronze clasps is the same unity achieved through gold clasps, at a different level of holiness. The tabernacle's unity extends from its most sacred core to its most protective outer layer.
