Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites.

Moses assembled the entire Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do:

Assemble the surrounding courtyard and hang the screen for the gate of the courtyard.

“Go and assemble the elders of Israel and say to them: Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has appeared to me and said: I have paid close attention to you and to what has been done to you in Egypt.

The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands of the posts were silver; and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.
