36:38 and its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their tops ¹  and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze. ²

27:17 All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands; ⁶  their hooks are to be ⁷  silver, and their bases bronze.

Keluaran 38:10

38:10 with ⁸  their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases, with the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver.

Keluaran 38:19

38:19 with four posts and their four bronze bases. Their hooks and their bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver.

[36:38]  ¹ tn The word is “their heads”; technically it would be “their capitals” (so ASV, NAB, NRSV). The bands were bands of metal surrounding these capitals just beneath them. These are not mentioned in Exod 26:37, and it sounds like the posts are to be covered with gold. But the gradation of metals is what is intended: the posts at the entrance to the Most Holy Place are all of gold; the posts at the entrance to the tent are overlaid with gold at the top; and the posts at the entrance to the courtyard are overlaid with silver at the top (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 387, citing Dillmann without reference).

[36:38]  ² sn For a good summary of the differences between the instruction section and the completion section, and the reasons for the changes and the omissions, see B. Jacob, Exodus, 1022-23.

[38:12]  ³ tn The phrase “there were” has been supplied.

[38:12]  ⁴ tn The text simply has “their posts ten and their bases ten”; this may be added here as a circumstantial clause with the main sentence in order to make sense out of the construction.

[38:28]  ⁵ tn Here the word “shekels” is understood; about 45 pounds.

[27:17]  ⁶ tn The text uses the passive participle here: they are to “be filleted with silver” or “bound round” with silver.

[27:17]  ⁷ tn Here the phrase “are to be” has been supplied.

[38:10]  ⁸ tn While this verse could be translated as an independent sentence, it is probably to be subordinated as a circumstantial clause in line with Exod 27:10-12, as well as v. 12 of this passage.
