Exodus 27:10

with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — God instructs Moses on the construction of the tabernacle courtyard. The verse specifies the hardware for one side of the enclosure.

The words — עַמֻּדָיו ('amudav) means "its pillars," and נְחֹשֶׁת (nechoshet) means "bronze." The text literally records twenty pillars paired with twenty bronze bases.

The thread — Exodus 26:19 assigns forty silver bases to twenty tabernacle frames, while Exodus 36:38 lists five gilded posts for the entrance, and Jeremiah 52:21 describes Solomon's temple pillars as eighteen cubits tall with a twelve-cubit circumference.

Why it lands — The passage mandates exact numerical and material specifications for the courtyard hardware. Readers must track the precise inventory of bronze bases, silver hooks, and pillars required for the enclosure.
