EXODUS 38:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.”
The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands on the posts were silver; and their tops were overlaid with silver. So all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands. The complete material specification: bronze bases, silver hooks and bands, silver-overlaid tops. The visual result is a courtyard with the bottom of every post anchored in bronze but the visible portions gleaming with silver. The hierarchy of materials rises from earth level to eye level: bronze at the ground, silver in the sight.
