They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold. The frames and crossbars — the structural skeleton — are overlaid with gold. The gold that covers the walls is continuous with the gold rings that hold them together: structure and surface are both precious, both sacred, both gold. The skeleton of the sanctuary is as precious as its furnishings — there is no tier of the holy that deserves less than the most.
