They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands. The remaining silver — 1,775 shekels beyond the 100 talents — is used for the hooks, tops, and bands of the courtyard posts. From the ground-level foundations to the eye-level connections, the courtyard's silver is the silver of the community's atonement. The boundary of the sacred space is marked with the material of redemption at every level.
