Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - And the twenty pillars thereof, etc. Literally, "And its pillars, twenty (in number), and their sockets, twenty (in number, shall be) of bronze." The hooks of the pillars are loops whereto the curtains were to be attached. See Exodus 26:32. Their fillets. It is now generally agreed that the word used designates "connecting rods," which joined the pillars at the top, and probably helped to support the "hangings." These, and the "hooks," were of solid silver.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) And the twenty pillars thereof . . . --Heb., and its pillars, twenty (in number), and their bases, also twenty (shall be) of bronze. Kalisch says that the pillars of the court were "of wood, not plated with metal" (Comment., p. 371); but the present passage, and also Exodus 38:10, rightly translated, contradict this view.The hooks of the pillars.--Comp. Exodus 26:37. As the pillars were for the support of the "hangings," they required "hooks," whereto the "hangings" might be attached.Their fillets.--Rather, their connecting-rods. The pillars of the court were to be united by rods, which would help to support the "hangings."
