All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze. The tent pegs — the most ordinary and most invisible components — are all bronze. The consistency of the courtyard-level material even in the most hidden components communicates the principle: every element is specified, every material is appropriate, nothing is left to chance. The tent peg driven into the desert floor to hold the most sacred dwelling place of God is as carefully specified as the gold that covers the mercy seat. Invisible faithfulness and visible glory are both part of the covenant community's service.
