Exodus 27:17

WEB

All the pillars of the court around shall be filleted with silver; their hooks of silver, and their sockets of brass.

KJV

All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.

Commentary

All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver,.... This is observed, because only mention is made be fore of the pillars that were on the south and north sides of the court, as filleted with silver; but inasmuch as those at both ends, east and west, were to be so likewise, this is added: their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass; no notice having been taken of the hooks to the pillars at both ends, though they were as necessary there as elsewhere, and must be supposed, and though the sockets are mentioned, yet not their metal, and therefore are in general included here.
